Meme Challenge

A student emailed me this picture with the accurate-yet-predictable subject line "lol."


It's an easy trick: choose a few detailed, beautiful, and recognizable art pieces from the past, and compare them to some more recent minimalist pieces.

But the trick can work both ways, can't it? Couldn't I choose some older works that are less beautiful or socially acceptable, and then juxtapose them with two more recent works that are jaw-dropping?

If you make it, I will post it (within reasonable bounds, of course).

And for it's worth, the piece on the bottom left is by far my favorite of these four.
