For custardfairy: Frida Kahlo as interpreted by Japanese artist

I'm especially aiming this at [livejournal.com profile] custardfairy because I know she's been on a Frida Kahlo kick, but others may find it of interest as well.

While in Vegas, we went to the art gallery inside the Bellagio. They have several Picassos and a couple of Renoirs and a Degas and some works by other very famous artist. One artist that was new to me, though, was Yasumasa Morimura. He remakes famous piece of art/pop art and inserts himself into them. I particularly like his series of Frida Kahlo pictures. 

This is the one in the Bellagio's collection that we got to see.

Wow! This is really neat; I'll have to look into more of Morimura's work.

Thanks!
