MoMA History of Art Coasters Set of 6
The MoMA History of Art Wall Coasters Set features whimsical illustrations that outline the history of art with smiley faces appropriately altered in the styles of famous artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Claude Monet, Mark Rothko, Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock.
The sketches are based on smileys 'apparently' drawn by a teacher named Donald Seitz in1991. We say apparently because when one tries to find anything about an illustrator, designer or teacher Donald Seitz, it is very likely to draw a blank. Has he ever existed, or is this one of the great mysteries of the MoMA? Find out for yourself!
Nevertheless, these sketches are good fun and well-loved all over the world. You can find them printed on wall clocks, mugs, umbrellas, shopping totes, posters etc.
The coasters are a humorous and stimulating idea for fans of the history of artists in MoMA's collection.
