Reproductions of famous paintings using torn up magazines

The Sao-Paulo born artist Vik Muniz tends to do create startlingly accurate reproductions of paintings via the most basic of materials available - Scissors, magazines and glue. Probably Google as well. The various reproductions he's made a very similar to the originals albeit not with brush or stroke work, but the whole concept of putting bits of old paper together to form another copy of the classics, seems class. Curiosity does seem to get the better of me as I have this weird feeling of tracing my fingers across the artwork just to see what it feels like. I'm sure you would too if you check out the images.

Check out all the paintings at flavorwire.
