Here is a good example of creating a modern take of an old painting. My friends Jori and Kiley worked together on this image. Its a really great image!! They put their own twist on it, the girl is from a sorority and I think the guy is as well which if you think about it conceptually makes sense. The social politics, significance of wealth, social restraint and behaviors play a role in both court at the time of the painting and that of sororities and fraternities.
