Juxtaposed Portraitography

Andy Freeberg Pairs Artwork with Awkwardness

It’s interesting how this photographer has turned the art-lover into a work of art as well. American photographer Andy Freeberg has created this playful collection of photos with paintings matched with discomforted people.

Capturing these candid moments of these elderly woman as they sit ill at ease next to shocking works of art brings a smile to my face. The painting with the short haired woman with exposed breasts hovering over a similarly attired women (sans the breast exposure) is certainly one example how this type of juxtaposing is humorous.
