Cheeky Boy, That One ~ from the "Men with Hats (and sometimes fruit)" poster series

Imagine a youth making a face for hours as his portrait was painstakingly painted. A mound of impertinent cherries and the flash of Renoir's heavy brushstrokes make matters worse.

The "Men with Hats (and sometimes fruit)" photomontage series recycles and reimagines masterworks from the public domain. Special thanks to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
