Tableau Vivants Bring Me Joie de Vivre

I love tableau vivants, people dressing up as paintings. I love trying to replicate the details of a well-known piece of art. That's why I am so excited about this music video, from a band called Hold Your Horses! The song is called "70 Million." It includes homages to Jacques-Louis David, René Magritte, & Sandro Botticelli, among others.
