Time for a Laugh: Classical Art Memes

Ok so sometimes you find yourself in the section of the museum where everything is very serious – religious iconography, portraits of nobles, political events from long ago. But I want to show you a new way to see these sometimes stuffy paintings: Classical Art Memes! Yes there is a whole lot of them out there and they crack me up every time.

Here we go – something about your last museum visit maybe?

Dining out – something I totally relate to:

And even better…

For anyone who maybe just had a trip to the dentist:

And… It’s flu season so:

For all you designers and architects:

And of course the artists :)

An internet search for Classical Art Memes will open up a world of hilarious distraction for you. Be careful if you are trying to avoid procrastination though!

    I love Basquiat’s work. There’s a lot of passion and intensity in that painting.

    There is something about the way spray paint behaves that is just so amazing. I keep going back to the lower left-hand side of this painting, where the white spray and black spray intersect. There are drips, thick spots, thin spots, round spots, wispy over-spray and the straight lines have rounded edges. Stencils can do similar things, but you can’t really recreate the exact effect with anything other than spray paint.
