Modern Art Classics Reorganized by Ursus Wehrli

Vincent Van Gogh “Bedroom in Arles”

Swiss comedian and experimental artist, Ursus Wehrl, in his “Tidying Up Art” series, reorganizes famous paintings, stacking up their elements by size, color or form, or by otherwise sorting out the unbearable mess of modern art.

He tries to make us believe he is doing the original artists a favor by organizing them. His TEDx talk video is funny and excruciating.

René Magritte “Golconda”

Paul Klee “Farbtafel”

Egon Schiele “Reclining Female Nude”

Pablo Picasso “The Red Armchair”

Georges Seurat “Les Poseuses” (Pointillism)

Wassily Kandinsky “Sky Blue”
