art for geeks

Someone called “paulthewineguy” has created a collection “understanding art for geeks” where he fuses classic art with modern computer lingo and the latest memes.. resulting in something which I am not sure how to handle.. on the one hand it’s shameless on the other hand it’s just too funny (if you are of the geeky type, that is…)

some examples:

Rodin - The Thinker… Christiano Banti - Galileo facing the Roman inquisition Gilbert Stuart - George Washington
