摘要
Various humoristic approaches have manifested in contemporary Egyptian painting in the aftermath of the revolution. This article examines the use of memes in contemporary political painting, and why Egyptian artists started to initiate humor and laughter, even if it was cynical or bitter. It adopts a critical model for analysing humoristic paintings initially developed from the general theory of verbal humor for analysing jokes and texts.
