While this Vogue Korea shoot entitled "Simple is More" by Kim Han Jun, isn't exactly a replica of Magritte's oeuvre (like in Sir Realist), it's clear that his work was the driving force behind its visuals. Magritte's staples are all over this, with the use of clouds, bowler hats, umbrellas and the posing of the scenary.

Gustave Klimt wasn't the only one getting a faithful, in the flesh reproduction of his works. In Genlux's winter issue, an editorial called Sir Realist shot by Andrew Matusik used surrealist master Rene Magritte's work as inspiration. While the reenactment isn't always as faithful as Klimt's, Magritte's vision clearly shines through.

Despite his usual dark streak (as evidenced in my previous post), Joel Peter Witkin lapsed into the world of high fashion and more traditional art (or maybe he's just becoming more of a softy with age :) in this 2006 fashion series for the NY Times.

Bear with me, I'm on a roll here, so I'm just flooding the gates with all these art to life related posts! I suppose I could have broken this down into 2 separate posts, but I guess there's strength in numbers and neither is a full fledged editorial so this pairing seems sorta of ok!

Tying all sorts of loose ends dangling here and there, all those random pics and editorial bits I found in my meanderings that I can tell are inspired by art. Mostly like all those other art to life posts but in a messier more diverse format! Enjoy!
