What if Q-Tip teamed up with Rousseau? Or Kanye with Vermeer? Or J. Lo with Manet?

I love this so much
I am surprised by the amount of anger this strikes up in me. Such blatant disrespect, in my opinion.

You can do better, WTF.
Its a brilliant collaboration idea!

i love that first one, it looks suprisingly modern! but for some reason i just feel the others aren’t so suitable. may be the text used, may be something else. if nothing else, it reminds me how amazing some of the colours are in these works of art!
This is brilliant!
