Disney characters appear to be a source of motivation for a lot of modern artists lately. We have seen the beloved heroines reimagined in a variety of alternative situations and styles, from eerie Tim Burton-style princesses to tough girl Fatales. Although so many people are of the opinion that learning about art history is mainly for artists, those working in the art sphere, and art critics.
However, an artist thinks that it’s essential for
everyone to learn about it. To verify that, Spanish graphic designer and
illustrator Carlos Gromo created a series of Disney characters inspired by
well-known paintings to help people memorize these classics much better.
