The mind behind art blog 'swooshart' has paired the great sportswear giant, Nike, with classical art. Combining their famous 'swoosh' tick with works from genius artists such as Caravaggio, Van Gogh, Michaelangelo and many more.
I find the tick works with some artworks more than others, for example, the image with a woman and two children walking beside her heading straight toward the viewer, who is looking slightly up toward her. The tick is powerful and reinstates Nike's brand well. Other paintings the tick sits uncomfortably in the image, most notably the paintings which do not express power or strength. For example, the painting below where the swoosh seems to be just an awkward addition to a sombre and melancholy image.
