Paintings are transformed into posts or live streams on Instagram, where the artists become true stars even in the digital universe.\u003cbr\u003eTheir images collect thousands of likes and comments, while the live streams are followed by a vast audience. Zwirner imagines what the lives of these great artists would have been like if they had been born in our contemporary era, obviously endowed with the famous blue checkmark, a symbol of their popularity.\u003cbr\u003eOn the posts, represented as works of art, there is no shortage of ironic or surreal comments from other artists: Marc Chagall, for example, leaves a smiling emoji under a photo of Picasso. Even in the live streams, interventions by iconic personalities of the 20th century appear, mixing the past and the present.\u003cbr\u003eWith this approach, Mark Zwirner transforms the social network into a true work of art, celebrating the icons of the 20th century. His vision combines Pop Art with Hyperrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"413\" data-end=\"510\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis artwork was selected thanks to the partnership between Danilo Cascella Premium Store and \u003ca title=\"Daniele Comelli Art\" href=\"https:\/\/danilocascella.com\/collections\/daniele-comelli-art-gallery\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDaniele Comelli Art \u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Zwirner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52200450752852,"sku":null,"price":5500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/4455\/7253\/files\/Picasso-live_7e836989-9779-48e5-a4c3-2aba9b6688db.jpg?v=1751621526"}],"url":"https:\/\/danilocascella.com\/collections\/mark-zwirner.oembed","provider":"Danilo Cascella Premium Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
