Be inspired, ReCreate

Edgar Degas once said, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” Our ReCreate with Tate Britain project allows all art-lovers to show what they see.



The project celebrates the Tate’s 500 year British Art collection by asking creative types across the world to ReCreate something of their own from a Tate Britain painting and to share on Google+.

Themes include Cooking, Comedy and Poetry. Tate Britain invited famous TV chefs The Fabulous Baker Brothers to take inspiration from Hogarth’s ‘O the Roast beef of Old England’ to ReCreate a new recipe as part of the food series. Watch how they created a burger recipe inspired by the painting.

This evening, at 8 p.m. GMT, fashion photographer Miles Aldridge and our Google+ Photography community will present a special Hangout on Air about photography and art. Be sure to tune in here to watch live.

Want to get involved? It's as simple as 1, 2, 3:

• Take a look at Tate Britain's collection on the Google Art Project and pick something that inspires you
• Create something new and share it into the with Tate Britain Community.
• Tag it #Recreate and #TateBritain. Whether it's food, fashion, photography, we'd love to see it

Over the next few months, we will share selected artworks to the Google Art Project and Tate Britain Google+ pages. Upcoming themes include fashion, music and film. Make sure to join the Google+ Community and stay up to date.

Join us and ReCreate.
