They — and by which we mostly mean Malcolm Gladwell — say if you spend 10,000 hours, you’ll become an expert at something. Which, if true (it’s likely not), then that would make us close to experts when it comes to wasting time on the Internet. During one of those hours, we discovered some funny Instagram accounts that make memes using famous pieces of art.

The unexpected mix of high brow and low brow these memes deliver makes these even better than most. Now excuse us, we have to go don a beret and pretend we know anything about Impressionism.
