Every time I see this painting I think of Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I appreciate the bag to match the silhouette of the booty.
Booty bag ftw
Even the black dog! wow
Missing a few people and boats but it's a nice try.
Yeah, the woman strangling her husband in the background isn't in the 2006 version.
Lack of pet monkeys too
Also the teletubby speaker isn't in there either, this image is shit!
That's the most important bit. Everytime I see that I'm drawn to the monkey because it feels so out of place.
I love how it looks like just a random snapshot.
That's life.
Some thought Seurat's figures were far too 'stick figure-like,' but I appreciate how the re-creators made a special effort to correct that.
Reminds me of these Klimt re-creations (Warning somewhat NSFW) I have a set of framed postcards in my dining room...
Nice. Thanks for the link!
So that's an occasion to use a merkin.
Anyone else stuck with the pneumonic “Seurat the dot painted Le Jatte” since…idk, middle school?
Awesome but I do feel they could have done a little more for this. Maybe at least try to somewhat match the clothing colors?
Tough crowd.
I know
I've seen this picture before and I do love the way they set it up, it's just that the result is so different that it may as well have been a random day, almost. It feels like they went 90% of the way and then just stopped
I'm not an art critic, I know nothing, this is just something I see
It's interesting because they went to some effort to get there shadows right, and possibly the sail boat, but not match simple things like umbrella colors.
Not bad, but I'd be interested to hear the story behind the choices!
I feel like there's a real issue with stuff like this. Unless it's really fucking close it will always look kinda meh. But as with this, even though there are so many differences, both things in and out of the control of everyone there, it must have been so much work. So it's kind of cursed from the start. I'm not hating on this at all, I applaud the effort and it's cool they did this, just sharing my train of thought. It'll always be "the more you look the worse it gets", unless it's truly unbelievably perfect it'll never be anything else.
Still, cool thing, glad it was done and to have seen it!
