Man Bartlett has started the greatest Internet meme since Beast Jesus. Emoji Art History (hashtag #emojiarthistory) uses emojis to interpret the work of artists over the years. It officially started on this Tumblr and has gone viral since, including artists from Cindy Sherman to Wayne Thiebaud. If you click through the thumbs, you'll see that even the Getty Museum is in on it.
