While the world reeled from the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), thousands of people around the globe, inspired by challenges from Getty and other museums, raided toy chests, repurposed pantry items, and enlisted family, roommates, and animals to re-create famous works of art at home. Astonishing in their creativity, wit, and ingenuity, these creations remind us of the power of art to unite us and bring joy during troubled times. \u003cem\u003eOff the Walls: Inspired Re-Creations of Iconic Artworks\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates these imaginative re-creations, bringing highlights from this challenge together in one whimsical, irresistible volume. \u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetty Publications will donate all profits from the sale of the book to a charity supporting art and artists.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“There won't be much from the Corona era to look back on with pleasure, but the pictures of recreated works of art are definitely one of the rays of light.”\u003cbr\u003e—Susanne Lenz, \u003cem\u003eBerliner Zeitung\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“There’s not a lot about this spring that we can really look back on with fondness.

Their answer was to issue their readers with a challenge: pick a favourite artwork, find three objects in your house, recreate the artwork with those items, share it online. This is a collection of those photographs. Some are ingenious, others endearing, others laugh-out-loud funny. I particularly liked the self-portraits of Van Gogh, with Vincent replaced by a dog.
