The museum is hosting a big special exhibition of works by Brazilian-born artist Vic Muniz. They are remarkable. Muniz meticulously combines numerous different materials into his desired image before photographing the assemblage for the final work.
A horse, a soldier and a Native American chief greet visitors to the Muniz galleries.
This close-up shows the way Muniz created the works shown above by combining small plastic figures into the overall form he wanted before photographing them.
A collage-based photographic work based on A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, after Édouard Manet, from Muniz's Pictures of Magazines series.
Muniz created this work with torn pages from old magazines before photographing the completed work.

Wonderful collages. I wonder what the size of the Moulin Rouge collage is...by the close-up of torn pieces, it makes me think it's a rather big photograph...as the ones at the entrance are! I'm not used to seeing photos that big (even digital).
These are amazing collages using some unique, and surprising materials. Thanks for showing Muniz's art.
