American Larry Moss, like no one else, knows that in order to create a work of art, you need to blow a lot. The sculptor specializes in installations made from elongated balloons, such as those sold in circuses, parks and other places of entertainment for children. It turns out that these toys can even make copies of paintings that we all remember: not only the long-suffering "La Gioconda", but also "Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo da Vinci, "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli, "American Gothic" by Grant Wood.
A resident of Rochester, Larry Moss, in his childhood, certainly did not play enough with balloons, because, already being a mature person, he came up with his own project "Airigami". The name is derived from two words: "air" and "origami". The creator of the original genre claims that aerigami is "the fine art of folding air."
American aerigamist sculptor Larry Moss has proven that he can do anything: an impressive installation, funny outfits from colorful balls and even a copy of Paul Cézanne's painting Still Life with Drapery, a Jug and a Fruit Bowl.
Larry Moss started the road to success 25 years ago. At first, he was a street artist in New York, and then decided not to look for his own niche, but to create it on his own. Now the amusing art of Aerigami and the project of the same name are being talked about by the media, including the Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press agency. Aerigamist exhibitions were held in 12 countries on 4 continents. Larry Moss visited the White House, and one of his creations, back in 2000, was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest sculpture of non-circular balls.
Where are they taught to be aerigamist? The question is rather rhetorical. Larry Moss holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. He now writes books on "art trickery" and works with a design team to help bring his mastermind's designs to life.
The project in which Larry Moss and his comrades created copies of paintings from the Renaissance to pop art, of course, does not pretend to be of high artistic value. It is rather entertainment designed to make the viewer laugh and delight with another meeting with painfully familiar works.

Leonid Osipovich Utyosov became a legend during his lifetime. He was the first in many ways. He was the first to perform works by Babel, Bagritsky and Zoshchenko, created his own "Tea Jazz", which after only five years received the status of the State, was the first to bring musicians from the orchestra pit to the stage, and the first pop artist to receive the title of People's. And Leonid Utyosov was always a very honest person. He never hid the fact that during the years of repression he was desperately afraid of Stalin, especially after

Accustomed to the fact that it is always noisy and bustling around, cars scurry along the roads, and passers-by along the streets, we can hardly imagine what could have been, and once it was, quite differently.

Copies of famous paintings made of wood and newsprint. Custom "painting" by artist Kyu-Hak Lee

As a result, we talk about the strong influence of one or another master on the work of a modern author, and sometimes we can see with our own eyes what kind of master this author took as his teacher. These are imitations of famous masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, which has gone through dozens of parodies and recreations. A portfolio
Hot air balloons set a record: 343 balloons in the sky of France
Hot air balloons, or simply balloons - an easy and beautiful way to the sky; that's why hundreds of festivals are dedicated to them (for example, the autumn festival of balloons in Canberra). But still, the largest of them takes place in the homeland of the hot air balloon - in France, or rather, next to the Chamblay-Bussieres military base. And it was there that on July 27 they set a new world record for the number of balloons flying into the sky at the same time - one of the most beautiful records that can ever be
