Art meets Hip Hop

I received this link from Nicole Marroquin, about how a contemporary photographer/ advertiser Cecilia Azcarate juxtaposes images of rappers with images from Art History.  The juxtapositions are striking.  I just thought this was really cool and an interesting idea for an art project to do with students. She also use tumblr to publish her findings, which would be a cool platform to use.
