This is interesting - top notch Magnum photographs compared with great works of art. Some take it soberingly seriously, some are amusing. My favourite is #7 Elliott Erwitt's photograph compared to the painting of Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix. Though the comparison of a Martin Parr photo with the Last Supper is pretty good too.

thats very interesting

no 20 is almost a reversal as it looks like a painting copying a photo
 
Absolutely stunning. Love Eve Arnold and Martin Parr's work just makes me laugh every time. Some haunting images in there too. Art is finally getting political again and all the better for it in these sterile times.
 
^Erudite and eloquent observation. Your mum must be proud of you.

Very interesting idea, and some of them were uncannily accurate & funny.
