Vik Muniz

This piece of art by Vik Muniz is called the Double Mona Lisa and a part of his After Warhol series in 1999. What makes this piece so eye catching is the fact that no only is the image duplicated, but it's painted in both peanut butter and jelly. Artwork from Muniz use a wide range of materials including but not limited to garbage and "junk", photographs, chocolate syrup, and even baked beans. That alone definitely makes him a pioneer of his time. I personally like the original Mona Lisa, so I especially liked that Muniz was able to add such an original and fresh take to a classic painting. The fact that he is able to create such detail in the facial features like the eyes and the nose is really brilliant.
