This afternoon I took Antonio, and three of his mates, to Rio's Modern Art Museum to see the exhibition of US-based Brazilian artist Vik Muniz.
His works are extraordinary and consist of well-known master pieces redone using different materials (garbage, toys, coloured paper, real diamonds, tomato sauce, peanut butter, chocolate fudge).
We saw a "Medusa Marinara" made with spaghetti and.. marinara sauce, a Monalisa made of peanut butter and another one made of jam. Boticelli's Venus of Milo made of garbage and an Elizabeth Taylor portrait made of real diamonds.
Difficult to describe his vibrant, original, phenomenal work. Unmissable.
