An Introduction to Fine Art Through Funny Simpsons Mashups
@fine_art_simpsons is a popular Instagram account doing funny photoshop mashups, inserting various Simpsons characters into classic artworks.
The account takes it one step further in the caption, citing the original artist’s name while Simpsonizing the title, exposing people in a fun way to fine art. Some of the artworks are instantly recognizable but others may just be vaguely familiar or completely new.
