When we think of memes, we rarely associate them with something sophisticated or intellectual. Yet, such a genre exists: classical art memes. Well, they may not be particularly academic or require you to have a degree in Fine Arts; they're more of a bridge between the snobbish art world and the Internet spaces brimming with irony.

One Instagram page does classical art memes exceptionally well, pairing them with witty modern-day captions. The visual part of the memes is the acclaimed works from the masters of art, and the captions are about things that matter to our generation: Tinder, naps, and how many cats are actually too many cats.

Same, our fellow Christians haven't even seen a Bible in their lives and it is evident when we see them interact with others, they are the reason our religion is so hated

Nah, they're simply incapable of comprehending and much prefer to cherry pick. Essentially, some so-called religious people have created their own religious sects because actually following the precepts in holy books is beyond their ability.

Also, really question what sin is. How is, for example, a loving relationship between two consenting adults of the same sex a sin? It's OK to have a rethink about the things that a desert religion originating 4-5,000 years ago declared a sin. Jesus did (as did all forms of Judaism outside of Orthodox).

    The first time I heard that line was in 1971 and the 65 y.o. barn manager suggested it to one of the pretty college girls who would work with the race horses during the summer. He was fat and not hansome but she giggled, smiled and declined politely; Southern girls were always polite in 1970. Naive moi, was shocked he would be so bold.

    The classical art memes account we're covering here has been going strong on Instagram since 2018. Today, it has over 300k ardent followers who like their humor, in the words of the great bard Harry Styles, mixed with a bit of intellect. The goal of the creator is simple: "I put modern day captions on classical paintings to make you laugh," the page's bio reads.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Back in 2022, when we covered the Instagram page for the first time, the creator told Bored Panda that art history was their hobby for quite some time before they decided to start this page. "I always used to come across these paintings that looked like they were exactly made for a meme," the creator told us back then.

    The creator of the page told us in a previous interview that they believe the key to the success of this page is its relatability. The captions are all about relationship problems, reflections on today's politics and religion, and, of course, some meta Internet stuff. "Even though the paintings are hundreds of years old, their expressions and captions make it seem they are one of us," the creator said.

    Some say that pages like these make classical art more accessible to younger generations: making it funny, easier to understand, and more relatable. The creator of the meme page believes that tech in general helps make art and art history more accessible. "More and more people have started appreciating art after seeing them on their feeds and then trying to learn more about their backgrounds. Technology has made its interpretation and access inclusive."

    One reason why classical art memes work so well is that they're captioned with modern-day takes. Classical art meme creators put two things that seemingly shouldn't work together, but they do. It's what makes them funny, actually. It might seem bizarre to draw similarities between meme culture and classical art, but it's that juxtaposition that makes it so funny.

    Some say that Marcel Duchamp's famous "L.H.O.O.Q." repainting of the Mona Lisa can be considered a sort of classical art meme as well. Duchamp repainted Da Vinci's masterpiece and added a mustache and a goatee on the subject's face. The piece's title, "L.H.O.O.Q." translates into a vulgar French saying, "complimenting" the woman's behind.

    I've heard of square people and square pants (Bob) but never square shoes!

    Art historians say that we can call Duchamp's painting a sort of a meme because there's text on the replicated image, there's a humorous intention, and it's Duchamp's way of critiquing society. It became a symbol of the Dada movement, based on rebelling on everything that art represented.

    What about those who say that playing with classical art pieces to make memes is equal to desecrating them? Ross Carver-Carter has an answer: "Comical captions make art far more appealing and wide-reaching than they were sequestered away in temples of culture which shrouded works behind indecipherable jargon," he writes in his Medium.

    Ha! Even the "pure" Christianity doesn't. The words that hell replaced are either grave (form of inexistence, compulsory state of deep sleep--hence the concept of resurrection) or Gehenna (greek word for a real place that was used for disposal of *dead* bodies, not torment--same for its symbolistic meaning). The concept of eternal torment comes from Egyptian religion.

    I think a majority of intellectual people know that hell is right here on earth, and only through death can we escape it. When governments spend more money on weapons of death than food while 12% of the world population goes hungry, and housing while 150 million people are homeless, and 1.6 billion people live in inadequate housing, that's hell.

They're also pretty much the same symptoms for hypertension which went undiagnosed because I wrote my symptoms off as anxiety. Medical tech took my BP and it was 200, and I was allowed to leave on my despite that being a "hypertensive crisis". Anyhoo, I'm on meds and the "anxiety attacks" have simmered down quite a bit.

    In fact, meme-ing classical art has changed how we interact with it. What once seemed unapproachable and locked away in museums and private collections is now something we can alter and play with. "People can take and make meaning in old works and make them their own with no placards to tell them what to think and what to feel," Carver-Carter wrote.

    Tell that to the 4YO round here who just had the back of her head ripped off by a dog in the street as she was going for a walk with her mum. Dogs should be on leads unless in a fenced-in area. Dog licences should also be reinstated so that dog owners can be identified more easily in the case of law-breaking. We have registration plates for cars, which are safe most of the time when used responsibly but need to be tracked if stolen or used dangerously. It should be the same for dogs.

    Aside from memes, is art even more accessible to us today than it was, say, 20 years ago? Some would argue that yes. Some call exhibitions like The Immersive Van Gogh Experience and merchandise like the Dr. Martens x Jean Michel Basquiat a step toward more accessibility. Others call it kitsch, not "real" art.

    I'm fat and disagree with you. First of all, you can change how fat you are, but it is damn hard to change height or eye color. Second thing, there are so many health risks related to being fat, but very few related to being tall (except getting forehead bumps) or being blonde (except higher risk of skin cancer, because blonde people usually have lower melatonin. But being fat is like smoking. That was normal in 80's and look now.

    But the reality is that "real" art is still behind closed doors in museums and galleries and millionaires' private collections. In a way, classical art memes can be an act of rebellion; the context of the artwork itself has little to do with the meme itself.

    ''Memes don't seek to tease meaning that was ever intended in pieces, they confer a meaning by manipulating them," Carver-Carter points out. "That is their power. They are not a misunderstanding but a deliberate alteration."

    It depends on WHERE. There WERE times in the past that were better than now. With almost 25% of the world living with food insecurity (if not starving), and women being treated badly if not horribly in large populations, with more slaves (sex and house slaves) then ever before (of course we have a much higher population, too), things are not good now for a huge number of people.

    Not to mention wars, which now tend to impact civilians like never before (to my knowledge). Syrians, the Palestinians, Ukrainians, and so many others - not just the warriors being killed (which is tragic enough), but so many others, including children. My work friend's father and two young neices and nephews were killed by the Syrian government in a bombing. His mother was badly injured and would never walk again. The only person bringing in money was an uncle driving taxi. The taxi was bombed.
