Fine art reimagined with science fiction themes

Tor.com's Irene Gallo gathers together an absolutely fantastic gallery of science fiction artwork that quotes famous works of fine art. I'm all over John Mattos's Mos Eisley reimagined as Picasso's Three Musicians.

Art History Through Sci Fi-Colored Glasses

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

what a misleading header: most of the artworks aren’t specifically scifi.. I was dissapointed after the first four and tuned off when I saw teddybear-napoleon…

Header should have been : “Artists in populair culture look back at the great masters” or somesuch… And that isn’t special at all…

  Whistler’s mother with… Gonzo!!!! Absolutely sublime.

  If you’re going to object that it’s not sci fi, Hoka isn’t the one to turn off on:

  Well if it doesn’t have to be sci-fi, or special, then here’s one I recently did :D

What Patrick Kanne said.

Plus, those that are scifi images are basically based on art pieces that are already “science fiction” if not science fiction. Nude Descending a Staircase, No 2 is about automation and the mechanization of the human form already. Making it C3P0 is kind of, well, duh.

Interesting that the Picasso one is nearly the same, with the exception of 3PO’s head. I love the N.C.Wyeth one as well.
