Maniac Pumpkin Carvers’ Halloween re-creation of Henri Matisse’s Blue Nude sits in the MoMA film lobby

For the fourth year running, MoMA visitors who pass through the Museum’s film entrance during the days leading up to Halloween are treated to an iconic modern-art masterpiece—in seasonally appropriate pumpkin form. This year, in celebration of the Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs exhibition, the knife-wielding crazies at Maniac Pumpkin Carvers have “cut out” a beautiful interpretation of Matisse’s Blue Nude.

Gourd-geous takes on Edvard Munch’s The Scream (from October 2012) and Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night (from October 2011)

From the swirling heavens of Van Gogh’s Starry Night to the conceptual tomfoolery of René Magritte, these art o’ lanterns are an autumn favorite among staff and visitors alike.

From everyone at The Museum of Modern Art, have a very happy Halloween!
