40 Of The Funniest Classical Art Memes Shared On This Online Group

The founder of 'Classical Damn' believes that so many people relate to the content of the page because all the captions deal with modern-day life and its problems: from relationship problems and the coronavirus to satire about politics and religion.

"Even though the paintings are hundreds of years old, their expressions and captions make it seem they are one of us," they explained to Bored Panda.

"Creating original content does become difficult at times because finding paintings with accurate expressions and resolution is a time consuming process," the founder said when asked whether it becomes challenging at any point to create so many fresh memes.

"In my opinion art and art history can be made more accessible by increasing public access to art spaces. Instagram has done a tremendous job in this by providing a platform to artists, content creators, and curators," the creator of 'Classical Damn' shared a very positive outlook on the relationship between art and tech.

"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. The future is going to be an exciting period for art and I'm looking forward to it."

Meanwhile, Shelby, a former art gallery director living in Florida, believes that art doesn't have to be more approachable because in her opinion it is not unapproachable. "Art is not snooty and complicated. Art is in literally everything we do, it makes the world go round. It is how we market, it’s what we decorate our homes with, heck it is what we decorate ourselves with," she told Bored Panda.

"You literally cannot turn around without seeing some form of art, in architecture, logos, billboards, television, everything. And that came from somewhere," she noted that the idea that art is unapproachable may be outdated.

Bored Panda asked Shelby about whether classical art will ever come back into fashion and about her favorite styles. "Everything is cyclical. We develop new styles that hold qualities of the old while still addressing and innovating in the now. So do I think there will be an exact regurgitation of the older movements? No. But I do think we can see common themes from what once was," she said.
