The Paintings of Renaissance Masters Blended with the Images of Superheros
This wonderful and fun website call worth1000 does frequent competitions among it's members involving photoshop. This is the result of a contest they did blending the paintings of Renaissance Masters with that of superheros such as Batman in it's incarnation as The Black Knight, Spiderman, and Catwoman among others. This stuff is really well done.
The Son Of Batman is a remake of Belgian surrealist master Rene Magritte’s “The Son on Man.”
“Batman Mourning.” I don't who the Renaissance Master this was copied from
“Poison Ivy Pestering Batman Again.”
“Spiderman.”
“Catwoman”, is based on one of Salvador Dali’s many surrealist paintings.
“The Death of Kent” which is a digital reworking of David’s Death of Marat.
Next we have a representation called “Spiderman and Doc Oc” which was inspired by a painting from the irrepressibly impious Salvador Dali.
“David X Men” which was, off course, was inspired by the world famous statue by Renaissance master Michelangelo.
“The Joker.” This representation was inspired by one of Rembrandt’s many self portraits.

A Fantastic 3D Animated Video Featuring Paintings by Picasso, Dali, van Gogh and Escher
I absolutely love this video. This is a beautiful animated amalgam of four works of art produced by Marcelo Ricardo Ortiz from the Vancouver Film School. Ortiz calls his work Guernica after Pablo Picasso's masterpiece about which Lunatica posted a marvelous 3D animated rendition a while back. Featured in this video are also Vincent van Gogh's Room in Arles which was also showcased in Lunatica in two beautiful videos not long ago; Salvador Dali's The Persistence of Memory and Dutch painter M.C Escher who is famous for his gravity-defying etchings and illustrations such as Relativity which is being featured in Ortiz' fabulous work. Sit (or stand if you please) and enjoy this beautiful work.
Guernica, 1937
Relativity, 1953
Room in Arles, 1889
The Persistence of Memory, 1931

Destino - A Short Animated Cartoon by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney
Salvador Dali and Walt Disney collaborated on a short cartoon called Destino(Destiny). I personally can't imagine radical, chaotic, subversive Dali doing a collabo with Disney but it seems that the Spanish painter considered Disney (along with the Marx brothers and Cecil B. DeMille) to be some sort of a kindred soul in the surrealist movement. Destino is currently being shown at the MoMA in NYC as part of an exhibit called "Dalí: Painting and Film".
"Destino is a short animated cartoon released in 2003 by The Walt Disney Company. Destino is unique in that its production originally began in 1945, 58 years before its original release. The project was a collaboration between American animator Walt Disney and Spanish painter Salvador Dalí, and features music written by Mexican songwriter Armando Dominguez.
Destino premiered on June 2, 2003 at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in Annecy, France. The six-minute short follows the love story of Chronos and the ill-fated love he has for a mortal female. The story continues as the female dances through surreal scenery inspired by Dalí's paintings. There is little dialogue, but the sound track features a song by the Mexican composer, Armando Dominguez."
The film was shown as part of the exhibition Dali & Film at Tate Modern from June to September, 2007, as part of the Dali exhibit at the LA County Museum of Art from October, 2007 to January 2008, and at an exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art called Dalí: Painting and Film from June to September 2008."

The Many Incarnations of the Mona Lisa - From Dali to Banksy
