For example, I think this painting would find a new appreciation with the modern world if striped of its sincerity by means of slapping meme faces and large Helvetica text on it.

When did you grow out of overly sentimental kitsch trash such as this painting?

Can any one of you wonderful patricians post the "Books Namedropped by Tryhards" image?
