Instagram is becoming an increasingly surreal place where Kim Kardashian’s perfectly-crafted belfies reign supreme, 50 Cent posts photos of himself surrounded by (fake) fat stacks and R.E.M’s Michael Stipe continuously uploads additions to a patchwork quilt of his own solemn, beardy face. However, amongst this flagrant surrealism are small portals of genius that keep us from logging out forever, and amongst these small portals of genius are Album+Art, an Instagram account dedicated entirely to flawless mash ups of your favourite album covers and classic art.
