Portrait Made From 5,500 Toy Soldiers

Made in China is an impressive piece by artist Joe Black depicting a portrait of Chinese soldier that appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine in 1938. Black glued over 5,500 multi-colored toy soldiers to a vertical surface to achieve the pointillistic effect. The artwork was on display last October at the Moniker Art Fair in London.
