Vik Muniz is a famous photographer who was born in Sao, Paulo, Brazil, in 1961. He is featured in the documentary Waste Land, which famously became nominated for an Academy Award. I chose this painting because it was a "twist" from the famous creation by Van Gogh. He solely used magazine clippings to create his own representation of Starry Night. He called this creation "Pictures of Magazines 2", and is comprised of nine different paintings. Within the painting there are many hidden faces and skulls, the more you examine the art, the more you see.
