Artist Reimagines Disney Characters As Famous Classical Paintings And Pop Culture References (22 New Pics)
Interview With Artist
Many of us know the most popular classical paintings—well, at least what they look like. Sadly, fewer know the names of the paintings and of the painters who created them. With this in mind, this artist decided he would do something to make people more interested in classic art.
Spanish graphic designer and illustrator Carlos Gromo is back with the idea to combine classic artwork with a thing that many people love—Disney. The artist takes well-known characters and places them into classic paintings. That way people can remember them better. Carlos also combines the characters with movies and other pop-culture references. The designer even takes the first concept designs of the Disney characters and redraws them to see how they would look if they were never changed.

Best Disney movie ever! Best female lead, best music, great humor. Love it. Love how she was not a princess, never wanted to be a princess (she did become one but that was not the goal), worked hard for what she had, harder than most as a minority woman. And achieved her dream.

It has been a couple months since the last "re-imagined Disney princess" post... I'm surprised we lasted this long. I guess people were too busy writing the "look how different America is from other countries", or the "why toxic men are a problem" posts... (not that I'm saying that Toxic men aren't a problem. They most definitely are, it is just a recurring theme on this page)

Why are so few people actually choosing to appreciate this? It was cool. You guys are probably ruining this persons day with your hate comments. I loved this post, and even if you didn’t it’s not your place to hate on these. Someone worked very hard and was proud of this. Take your bad attitudes and go sink to the bottom of a lake.

I guess Fair Use laws are ok with Disneyfied Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood twee. But what happens when you run Francis Bacon’s screaming pope or Goya’s Black Paintings through the Disney filter?

Better yet, How about the "Hell" segment of Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights" triptych? 😏 1_q4CfviVE...be411.jpeg
