A clever and laugh-out-loud art history twist on your favorite sports moments, from the creator of the social media phenomenon Art But Make It Sports.
Epic moments in modern sports are masterfully paired with their fine art doppelgangers in this incredible compilation of side-by-side images that sports fans will marvel at. Featuring photographs from basketball, baseball, softball, football, soccer, tennis, hockey, golf, the Olympics, and more, matched with paintings and other pieces of historical art that mirror them, the undeniable similarities will keep you turning the pages!- Is it LeBron James holding up the NBA Cup after the Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers in the 2023 In-Season Tournament Championship, or is it Salvador Dalí's Man Holding Up a Baby?
- Is Caitlin Clark posing for a portrait during the 2024 WNBA draft, or is that Judith with the Head of Holofernes by Charles Mellin?
- What about Jason Kelce celebrating a touchdown. Is it a good time amongst friends, or is it The Feast of Bacchus by Phillips Koninck?
And there's more than just the one-to-one visual comparisons--the thematic connections present in each pairing are equally fascinating. Just as in Eugène Delacroix's 1830 painting Liberty Leading the People, we see Sabrina Ionescu (of the New York Liberty) encapsulate the same themes of power and strength as she leads her team to victory during the 2023 WNBA Playoffs. You won't be able to tear yourself away from the surprising and sometimes eerie comparisons that await you in this book, an unbeatable gift for sports fans and art history lovers alike. BELOVED ACCOUNT, BRAND NEW CONTENT: From the popular Instagram and X account @ArtButMakeItSports comes this entertaining volume full of fan favorites and brand new content, sure to keep you mesmerized. WORLD'S GREATEST ATHLETES: This collection contains some of the most famous moments and greatest athletes spanning the history of professional sports. You'll find an array of favorites within these pages! ULTIMATE GIFT FOR SPORTS FANS: Without a doubt, this book will have the sports fans in your life laughing out loud! Win the day with this awesome gift for friends and loved ones for birthday, anniversary, holiday, Father's Day, Mother's Day, or any day you're catching a game together. Perfect for:
- Sports fans
- Art history lovers
- Readers who enjoy funny art books like Men to Avoid in Art and Life, Fat Cat Art, and Basketball (and Other Things)
- Gift-giving to someone who "doesn't want anything" for a special occasion (but will love this anyway!)
