Ai Weiwei Recreated Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’ Out of 650,000 LEGO Bricks
Nearly a century after Claude Monet captured the beauty of lily ponds in a series of Impressionist paintings, Ai Weiwei has reimagined the triptych in a radically new way. The contemporary Chinese artist—known for pushing boundaries—used 650,000 LEGO bricks in 22 different colors to reconstruct the image on a massive scale.
