un video: 70 Million - Hold your horses



This video its just awesome. Their concept was simple: reenact—using face paint, cardboard cutouts and lots of drapery—a lineup of classic paintings while performing their new song. Their portrayals are impressively orchestrated, surprisingly accurate and really pretty funny. For Rembrandt’s Anatomy Lesson, an otherwise stiff corpse fingers a keyboard; Da Vinci’s The Last Supper features Jesus pounding a pot with a couple of salad spoons; and Botticelli’s Venus strums an advantageously placed guitar. Plus, the tune itself is infectious! Coming from the lips of goddesses, saints and lovers, it makes for art worthy of the adjective “fine.”
