| | Powell's Books - Reflex: A Vik Muniz Primer by Vik Muniz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | An American artist of Brazilian origin, Vik Muniz has come to stand out as one of the most articulate and innovative artists of his generation, equally at home working with images of chocolate sauce, spaghetti marinara, or the detritus of hole punchers. |
 | | These generally involve some kind of conceptual trickiness about representations of representations — a copy of a Czanne still life, for example, composed of tiny circles punched out of magazines, or a recreation in chocolate syrup of a famous photograph of Jackson Pollack. |
 | | Vik Muniz was born in São Paulo, Brazil in 1961. |
