As a long time fan of the Austrian painter, these fun recreations of his works captured my immediate attention. A clever group of talented folks have combined their photography, digital art, illustration, make-up, hair and styling (all found through <a href="http://www.kattaca.com/">Kattaca</a>) to recreate some of Gustav's most famous paintings.<br /><br />While other sites and blogs have shown these photos, I have placed them side by side - or underneath- with the originals by Klimt.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOn12IBW2OH0bL872FSIh62x3QA3fuAfWKdxOhqN_Vw5t_dqcb1LyhwRXTDmRTNzdFoGV8cKM8Nii5W_1dauCtzSN1dhCHCUHwubN0gyEtGFN4lKcBa_lDmVq9oqEGBZSmmXD0Kq_ZQjr/s1600-h/theKiss_klimt.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304263302570314930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOn12IBW2OH0bL872FSIh62x3QA3fuAfWKdxOhqN_Vw5t_dqcb1LyhwRXTDmRTNzdFoGV8cKM8Nii5W_1dauCtzSN1dhCHCUHwubN0gyEtGFN4lKcBa_lDmVq9oqEGBZSmmXD0Kq_ZQjr/s400/theKiss_klimt.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
