I ran across these recreations of Gustav Klimt’s work on the Behance network by photographer Moises González’ and simply had to share them with you.

Klimt Paintings Recreated

As a long time fan of the Austrian Secessionist / Art Nouveau painter, these fun recreations of his works captured my immediate attention. A clever group of talented folks have combined their photography, digital art, illustration, make-up, hair and styling (all found through Kattaca) to recreate some of Gustav’s most famous paintings.

While other sites and blogs have shown these photos, I have placed them side by side – or underneath- with the originals by Klimt.
