Lisa Yaszek, Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, shared her ideas about why we are fascinated with everyday photographs that take on qualities of classical Western art in the Bored Panda article "30 Times People Snapped a Pic and Realized It's 'Accidental Renaissance.'"

An excerpt:

"People are fascinated with photos that look like classic art because they allow us to connect some of the most prosaic moments of everyday modern life with the greater sweep of history," Yaszek explains.
