Eleanor Antin is an artist that creates films, drawings, photographs, installations, and performances. Many of her works feature history as a means to critique the present. An example of this is Antin's photo series "The Last Days of Pompeii" which draws parallels between the people of the ancient Roman Empire and Americans. She also uses humor in many of her artworks. She felt that art, and life in general, is much more rewarding if can trigger emotions and still make you laugh.
