From Bosch’s Bird to Kusama’s Spots, Arty Halloween Costumes

Happy All Saints’ Day, everyone! (That’s the day after Halloween, if you were wondering.)

As we’ve done in years past, we’ve compiled some of the best art-related costumes we found on instagram. Last year, the most popular costume looked like it was Bob Ross. This year, everyone’s all about Yayoi Kusama. (This year, we decided to throw in one more Bob Ross, but this time it’s a cat.)

Here are some of our favorites.

This may be my weirdest costume inspiration yet. The man-eating bird monster from Hell, for a party themed "To Hell and Bosch".

Happy Halloween! 🎃 This year, I chose @sfmoma’s fabulous Femme au chapeau (Woman with a Hat), 1905, by Henri Matisse for my costume inspiration. 👒A portrait of the artist’s wife, Amélie, the painting was one of the first artworks to be characterized as Fauvist. 🎨 I created the hat out of hand-painted and crumpled paper and the blouse is hand-painted as well. The makeup and photography are by my friend and collaborator @kayellepea. 💄Have an art-inspired Halloween costume? I’d love to see it!

Happy Halloween from The Stirdivant’s 🎃 This year we chose works of art that inspire us; Eli: Banksy, Alana: KAWS, Me: David Flores, Azella: Marilyn by Warhol and Kaizen chose to be Andy himself. But the real No.1 artist in our home, the one who magically makes everything work.. balancing the bills, homework, breakfast, lunch and dinner, designing our home and offices, uplifting my vision.. oh and she runs her own company.. the Supermom, the Myth, the Legend.. @MrsAlanaDawn. We Adore You ❤️ #TeamStirdivant // MakeUp & Costume by @AlanaDawn. Photos by @KnowPassion.
