One of the most inspired movements in remix culture has been the transformation of American art and history. And every time I see one of these images, I burst out laughing. I majored in history during my undergrad, and if anyone likes a good history joke, it's this guy. A Tumblr user by the name of Lady History has created a blend of modern culture and humour, with the paintings and portraits that are recognizable to many. Sticking with the common "style" of writing on tumblr (little punctuation, witty reparte), Lady History has changed how viewers interact with these images, especially through the lens of our own generation.
While not all may understand the historical references of the paintings themselves, everyone can appreciate the "First World Problems" encountered by these figures.
