Description
Book SynopsisThe imagined Instagrams of art history’s “influencers,” from Gauguin to Warhol With his sharp-witted illustrations and insightful one-liners, the French illustrator, painter and writer Jean-Philippe Delhomme (born 1959) is a deft observer and loving critic of our contemporary culture. In his latest book, Artists' Instagrams, Delhomme imagines what the masters of modern art would have posted if they had access to Instagram and shared our addiction to the platform. The results are hilarious: Picasso collaborates with a car brand and compares his follower-count with Braque’s; Mondrian paints his IKEA kitchen; Gauguin incites #FOMO with his travel photographs of tantalizing, exoticizing Polynesian nudes. They are all here, from Joseph Beuys to Andy Warhol. Artists' Instagrams: The Never Seen Instagrams of the Greatest Artists is one of the first art books to engage Instagram’s influence in our visual culture (Kim Kardashian’s pioneering efforts notwithstanding). But Artists’ Instagrams is not only an amusing mash-up of high culture and everyone's favorite social media platform; it's a veritable history of modern art through hashtags.
Trade ReviewHis 2019 book, Artists' Instagrams: The Never Seen Instagrams of the Greatest Artists, depicted witty takes on imagined posts by artists such as Joseph Beuys, Louise Bourgeois, and Piet Mondrian, while playing with the realities of the Instagram age. -- Elizabeth Stamp * Architectural Digest *
Witty posts (and commentary from other famous artists) pair with silly drawings in this goofy gag book. -- Maya P Lim * Creative Pro *
The project of Hilma af Klint and her female colleagues was the result of great maturity, of confidence and collective efforts, performed both in work and in life. -- Michael-Oliver Harding * Guardian *
