At least on some level. The beauty of ‘Classical Sarcasm’ is despite the fact that not everyone is an art historian or a fan of galleries, they can still vibe with the emotions, expressions, and comments portrayed in the images.The added layer of humor further elevates the quality of the meme, and makes you more likely to (re)share it with the people you care about. And that’s how this unique combination of art and sarcasm has carved out such a popular niche for itself.#10Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#11Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#12Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memesDuring a previous interview, Bored Panda spoke to the founder of the entire ‘Classical Sarcasm’ project, Adnan Cirak, from Bosnia and Herzegovina. “My inspiration is to promote art and also young artists who are painters and creators,” he told us earlier, adding that art memes help break cultural barriers, as his pages are followed worldwide."The success behind the page is original content and constant hard work. My team consists of me and my parents," Adnan told Bored Panda about how integral his mom, Sifa, and his dad, Sefik, really are to the project’s popularity. Aside from the ‘Classical Sarcasm’ Instagram account, Facebook page, and Facebook group, they also run a couple of similar Instagram pages.#13Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#14Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#15Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes“Paintings are perfect [templates for memes] because they all have a story behind [them]. Also, everyone has an opportunity to tell the story in their own way,” the founder shared with us.According to him, a core part of the appeal is the freedom to interpret things as one sees them. Not only does this apply to the works of art featured in the images but to the memes, too.“When creating memes, I just need to look at one painting, and immediately, the brainstorming starts in my head. Also, many followers are sending their own creations. I'm so proud that my page has motivated so many people to express their own creativity."According to Adnan, he’s open to all young artists and companies to work together. Anyone who’s interested can contact him via the email he has shared publicly on his Facebook page.#16Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#17Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#18Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memesOne art historian previously explained to Bored Panda that many people have a wrong assumption about art history. They believe that it’s incredibly serious and important, which, in turn, leads to them feeling overwhelmed with the very idea of digging deeper into it.That, however, isn’t true. Art history, according to the historian, is basically just old memes full of humor and humanity.#19Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#20Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#21Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memesMeanwhile, an art expert, who previously headed a gallery, told us earlier that many people find art history intimidating exactly because it’s not taught in schools. The reality is that it’s not inaccessible despite being viewed as hard to grasp. Broadly speaking, people tend to feel intimidated by things that they aren’t experts in.#22Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#23Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#24Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memesArt, according to the expert, can feel intimidating for some individuals because there’s an element of subjectivity to it that’s not found in subjects like, for example, math. A good way to get more people into art and art history is to democratize it: the subjects should be made accessible to individuals, no matter their background.That, in turn, should make the subjects less scary and ephemeral. The point is to discuss and create art, not to be ‘right’ with your opinions. It’s about self-expression, emotions, and opinions.#25Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#26Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memes#27Image credits: Classical Sarcasm - Classical art memesWhich of the memes featured in this post did you enjoy the most?
