Here is a section of Russian-born French Expressionist Vassily Kandinsky's "Weilheim-Marienplatz" reproduced on the pavement of the actual square depicted in the painting.
About 500 pupils and Weilheim citizens painted the 2,100 square metre area, with about 8,000 paving stones, and a firm of architects worked out how to reproduce the artwork using a grid system, allowing for distortions of perspective.

I like the closeup better than the whole. People walking on fragments of art. They, the people, look oddly surreal...as though painted. Art as public place is a nice idea.

Reminds me of Chile's Nazca Lines. They should reproduce art visible form the air all over the world. I could imagine a valley of masterpieces sewn into the earth and seen from the mountaintops along the perimeter.
