With the #GettyMuseumChallenge, they reproduce famous paintings

• The Getty Museum in Los Angeles has invited internet users to reproduce the most famous paintings in "real life".
• The #GettyMuseumChallenge has inspired very inspired creations.

You may have seen them pass on social networks, these strange still-life-like scenes, these confined and confined people who suddenly start to pose, and maybe that did something to you, confusedly recalled a memory… It was perhaps one of the responses to the #GettyMuseumChallenge, this game launched by the Los Angeles museum to cloistered families around the world, an invitation to reproduce the most famous paintings in “real”:

We challenge you to recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home.

🥇 Choose your favorite artwork
🥈 Find three things lying around your house ⠀
🥉 Recreate the artwork with those items

And share with us. pic.twitter.com/9BNq35HY2V

The museum first gave itself a few examples, including a spider by Albrecht Dürer, this Portrait of a halberdier or this tribute to the Master of Santa Cecilia:

Then Internet users entered the dance. This untitled painting by Keith Haring is particularly successful, isn't it?

And don't you find this “morning sun”, according to Edward Hopper, magnificent?

An idea borrowed from @metmuseum: revisiting the classics of painting. Painting of solitude and confinement, I thought of Edward Hopper and his "Morning sun". I hope it can give you ideas 😉 #igersanjou #restecheztoienanjou #tussenkunstenquarantaine @tussenkunstenquarantaine #gettymuseumchallenge #mettwinning #metanywhere

Some artists have inspired many Internet users, such as the painter Magritte. In particular his works The Son of Man (here it is on Instagram) and his painting The Lovers:

Here's another René Magritte The son of man. I think it's pretty good! 👍🏻 # ArtInIsolation pic.twitter.com/vd0MQDK2FO

.Here's our first attempt. The Lovers by René Magritte. I challenge you @ Sassiest68 @EllieBTeaches @ K888FITZ @ roberts418 to create your own #ArtInIsolation using just 3 objects or people 🧑🏼‍🎨🎨👨🏻‍🎨 pic.twitter.com/ZtMWYc2KzU

The Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, who has become an icon of pop culture in recent years, has aroused particular enthusiasm among many women:
