Most iconic works of art end up ... on bananas

The well-known banana brand Chiquita has decided to combine its iconic blue vignettes with the world’s most famous works of art.

Italian designer Mariangela Rinaldi has come up with twelve new vignettes, in which she has reproduced some of the most famous female portraits in the history of art in an ironic and fun way. With the new vignettes, the famous brand intends to constantly reinvent the symbol associated with its bananas in an imaginative way, and in a playful way intends to invite people to create their own personal collection of... artistic bananas. A fun album has also been designed.

The works featured in the new Chiquita Banana Art Stamps are: Leonardo da Vinci’s pure and reserved “Lady Banana with an Ermine”; the enigmatic smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Chiquita”; Roy Lichtenstein’s “B-Banana”; Andy Warhol’s “Chiquita Monroe”; the long neck of Amedeo Modigliani’s “Portrait of a Chiquita Banana with Hat”; and Frida Kahlo’s sweet and exotic “Self-Portrait in Chiquita Banana Peel.” Gustav Klimt ’s famous gold and silver banana shadows for his “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Chiquita”; Pablo Picasso’s cubist banana “Chiquita Dora Maar”; Edgar Degas’s ballerina “L’étoile banana Chiquita”; James Whistler’s black-and-gray arrangement “Chiquita’s Mother”; Sandro Botticelli’s “The Birth of Chiquita”; the turbulent skies in the background of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s “Young Chiquita with Straw Hat.”

The new art stamps will appear from mid-December 2020 to mid-January 2021.

In addition, a series of creative recipes and a personality quiz will be available on the brand’s website to find out which vignette suits each consumer best.
