Art memes are becoming more popular and there has been a trend of them, noticeably on social medias, such as Facebook. I have noticed popular paintings parodied on a website titled “9GAG.com”, I saw one recently that parodied the “Creation of Adam” using Justin Bieber’s face as the face of Adam. The series of memes provided in the Washington Post article showed very popular works of art, most of which were identifiable from our previous studies. They positively conveyed the message of the “spray-cop’s” apathy for the students of the University of California; the spray-cop is presented as the antagonist in context of each painting. It’s a passive way of taking a dig at the spray-cop in a humorous way. A work I found very humorous was one we’ve learned in class by Marcel Duchamp, titled “L.H.O.O.Q”, parodied after Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”.
