Vik Muniz's *Os Fumantes (Léger)* (2008) pays homage to Fernand Léger's iconic depictions of working-class figures, recreating the bold, tubular forms and dynamic compositions through Muniz's signature use of unconventional materials. The work exemplifies Muniz's ongoing exploration of representation and illusion, challenging viewers to question the relationship between an image and the materials used to construct it. By referencing Léger's modernist aesthetic, Muniz bridges art historical traditions with contemporary concepts of appropriation and visual perception.
