Russians decorate
isolation by recreating
artworks
MOSCOW — In the
coronavirus lockdown,
Russians can’t go to their
beloved and renowned
museums. So they’re fill-
ing the holes in their souls
by recreating artworks
while stuck at home and
posting them on social
media.
The Facebook group
where the works are post-
ed has become a huge hit.
The art recreations range
from studious and rever-
ent to flippant and goofy.
They’re done both by Rus-
sians and Russian-speak-
ers abroad.
Some 350,000 people
are following the group,
where thousands of pho-
tos are posted, each show-
ing the original work
and the mockup made
at home. The rules say it
must only use items on
hand and can’t be digitally

pressive surprises in the

Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl
With a Pearl Earring”
and captured the Dutch
artist’s famous glowing

moments to notice that
the “girl” actually is a man

So, after leaving work one afternoon, I pulled

In the cat food aisle, I stepped aside for an old
