  1. Hi Cora, I can supply you with nearly 300 jokes about art/ art history. A lot of them are a lot funnier and more clever than those above, but a fair few of them presuppose more than a 101 knowledge of art history. Let me know if you’d like to publish some of them on this website. Kind regards, Mark
