Upon visiting New York recently, I was able to visit the museum of modern art, metropolitan museum of art, and the guggenheim. There I snapped pics of the works of art that the DA masterpiece pins were based on! It was simply amazing to see these works of art in person, especially when I used to collect the DA series!

The MET (metropolitan) houses Hokusai's Kanagawa, but they only showcase that print a few days out of the year due to the fragility of woodblock prints. I was unable to see it =/

Anyways, enjoy!

I would have never tried to look for these by myself, but now that I see them, they are amazing.

Thanks!
 
I love all of these paintings and the pins inspired by them. Thank you so much for posting pictures of both the artwork and the pins - I think it's really neat to see both side-by-side. This way, you really can appreciate the details of both the original artwork and what makes these pins so special.
 
Wow, that's so awesome seeing them side by side! I hadn't seen most of these pins before, but I absolutely love the idea of putting a disney spin on these masterpieces.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!
 
Wow, these are awesome pins! And it's neat to see the side by side comparison. I especially like the White Rabbit Persistence of Memory and the Tinker Bell Starry Night!
 
Very cool, earlier this year I went to the Art Institute of Chicago, I should check to see if I have pictures. I believe I took pictures of Seurat's Park on a Sunday Afternoon, and Wood's American Gothic.
