Old Master Artworks Photographed on Turntables

Masters on 45s is a new series from Israeli photographer Tamir Sher who took his turntable, attached images of Old Master artworks, and shot photos of the classic paintings and sculptures while rotating them at various speeds. It’s a contemporary twist on timeless masterworks that reinterprets their meaning and creates a surreal visual style. Sher has also taken the same blurry, dizzying approach with toys — placing superhero action figures onto the record player and spinning them for the camera. Check out Sher’s rotating gallery of old school art made new past the break.

What an amazing idea! I love the various speeds of the turn table to give the art pieces different views---some even look haunting. All I can say is that Tamir Sher took something simple and turned it into a genius of an art form.
