Who doesn’t love Mean Girls?! More than just a film, it defined pop culture for a generation of guys and girls, and its references have now spread into the art world. While the correlation between Gretchen Wieners and art history might seem a little far-fetched, this excellent Instagram account proves that all the snide comments made throughout the film can be applied to all eras of art history. Here’s a list of some of our favourites, and how they can be applied to the life of a 21st century gallerina.
