Have art historical references become the new brand-name-dropping? First rapper Jay-Z stuffed the video for his recent hit “On to the Next One” with art star shout-outs, including a black diamond encrusted skull suspiciously similar to Hirst's. Now, French-American hipster band Hold Your Horses send us on a musical art history tour with their new release “70 Million”. While playing a catchy tune, the group recreates famous paintings from Leonardo’s Last Supper to Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, with stops in between to visit Salome and St John, Magritte and Mondrian. See how many arty allusions you can spot. Our favourite? Perhaps the Brady Bunch-esque screen of the entire band dolled up as Warhol’s Marilyns.
