Cheeky ads designed to bring attention to Kansas City's newest airport, Mid-Continental International Airport. Well-known paintings from the Nelson-Atkins Museum were used to remind viewers of Kansas City's rich arts scene and as a means of invoking the experience of airports and planes.
This was originally Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland by Nicolas de Largilliere
This guy is from Caravaggio's Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness
And he is from General Gabriel Christie by Ralph Earl
This is originally from Rembrandt's Young Man in a Black Beret.
Thanks for viewing!
