Hello!
Since this is a work located at the San Antonio Museum of Art, you may also find information about the artist in our newspaper database called Access World News. When you click through, select San Antonio Express-News and then enter your artist's name: VIK MUNIZ
Here is a sample paragraph from one of the SA Express-News articles:
Brazilian artist Vik Muniz 's "Bacchus Astride a Barrel, after Rubens (Pictures of Junk)" is based on a painting of the god of wine by Peter Paul Rubens. Muniz , who lives in New York, re-created the image by assembling junk on the floor of a large warehouse and then taking an aerial photograph. The figure of Bacchus is outlined by found objects with several references to his partying ways, such as an old refrigerator stocked with wine.
The website ARTSY also has information on Muniz: https://artsy.net/artist/vik-muniz
Now taking into account the theme of the work (Bacchus, god of wine) and it being in the style of Peter Paul Rubens, please consider searching for books on Bacchus and Rubens in Library Discovery.
