Art History Parodies

After reading a short article in the Washington post on the pepper spray cop memes. I could recognize a couple work of art in my class. I think these parodies were funny in some way. Different people look at these memes might have different meaning to them. One of the pictures that make me laugh was the picture of “Liberty leading the people.” The cop was pepper spray on a woman’s armpit. People parody these works of art make us easier to remember events that happened in the past. It also shows us how the police use force to mess up the fact by changing the original work of art in to a funny picture.
