Gluten-Free Art Museum Lets You Enjoy Famous Artworks Without Gluten

ADVERTISEMENT

In one of the weirdest Internet art projects we’ve ever seen, French graphic artist Arthur Coulet has created a Tumblr called the Gluten-Free Art Museum that removes everything containing gluten from famous classical paintings. Some of the changes made to these famous paintings are subtle, while others are huge, but they all share one common vision – a gluten-free world.

Gluten is a protein that forms when proteins in wheat and other grains are mixed with water while being processed. Most of us are fine with it. Celiac disease, however, makes gluten react with and damage the small intestines. Though only about 1% of the population has gluten, there has been a recent movement suggesting that gluten causes many more issues and that avoiding it can help treat or even cure a wide range of diseases. Though most of these people don’t actually need to avoid gluten, the growing popularity of gluten-free food has caused an explosion in food choices for those actually affected by Celiac disease.

Scroll down below and check these safe-to-eat classical artworks for yourself!

Yeah, looks more like a critique to the "gluten free" movement. The modified pictures look like people were so poor they had nothing to eat....

This is a statement on how far people have taken this gluten fad. Without the plants that contain gluten humans may have never evolved to the point we are at now. A point where a true few have an actual condition and others are just riding a fad. I think it's insulting to those who actually have an adverse reaction to gluten.

Haha. As someone that suffers from gluten intolerance, I found these hilarious.

With gluten free breads and pasta available most of these changes are unnecessary.

Like it - it's great to raise awareness of the issue in a creative way!

Someone actually spent time on doing this? damn... what a waste of perfectly good time...

Daria, the gluten-free movement should be critiqued. Gluten is an inadvisable foodstuff for those with a condition called Coeliac Disease, also known as non-tropical Sprue. Avoiding gluten for any other reason has absolutely no medical foundation whatsoever. And yes, dieticians and physicians do know enough about nutrition to know that this is absolutely true.

I have Celiac and I thought this was hilarious and dumb. That's the point - it's all in good fun! No one's saying everyone should be gluten free. And the write up of what gluten is was wrong, but who cares - it's funny!

In the Walt Disney one of Lady and the Tramp, they forgot to take out the bread sticks in the jar. (Grissini) Italian restaurants always used to have the crunchy bread sticks!

Je pense que l'idée est qu'en éliminant le gluten on perd beaucoup si non l'essentiel même. Mais le message reste ambigu, d'ici la déroute des commentaires. Et alors, dommage pour tant d'effort pour viser à coté de la cible..

Complètement débile. Effort inutile. Ç'est ce qu'il arrive quand on veut être spirituel à tout prix. Mais pour avoir de l'humour il faut d'abord posséder de l'intelligence et bon goût. Oser intervenir et mutiler des oeuvres d'art célèbres en éliminant des éléments (qui font leur raisons d'être et leurs qualités artistiques même) pour simplement soutenir une théorie nutritionnelle et commerciale, voici le comble de l'effronterie mercantile. Mieux manger avec gluten et rester intelligent et respectueux du patrimoine artistique universel. Ou, l'idée est comme Daria B le dit si bien, tout montre qu'en éliminant le gluten, on perd beaucoup si non l'essentiel. Et dans ce cas-là, le but est atteint mais le message reste ambigu.

Je pense que t'as raté l'idée. C'est une critique du mouvement anti-gluten, c'est pour intimer qu les gens anti-gluten veulent effacer tout le gluten dans n'importe quel endroit.
