70 Million Paintings – L’Ogre and Hold Your Horses
Posted in Film / Video, Music Video on March 2nd, 2010 by Moose – 3 CommentsIf imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Franco-American band Hold Your Horses just flattered the hell out of a bunch of famous artists. Their latest music video from French director L’Ogre is a video homage to some of the more recognizable pieces from throughout art history. The musicians represent some of the most famous characters from the familiar paintings in painfully detailed costume and setting, perfectly copying the memorable works while performing their latest single, 70 Million. Ahead, see tributes to Botticelli, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Magritte, Kahlo, Mondrian, Warhol, Caravaggio, David, Géricault, Velazquez, Manet, Vermeer, Munch, Delacroix, Van Gogh, Monet, Klimt and anyone else I may have forgotten in the list of recreations.
70 Million by Hold Your Horses ! from L’Ogre.
