Fredric Jameson is a man who believes that the new is taking away from the old. This image would hurt Jameson and cause him to begin to believe that the old way is dying.
"The powerful alternative position that postmodernism is itself little more than one more stage of modernism proper (if not, indeed, of the even older romanticism); it may indeed be conceded that all the features of postmodernism I am about to enumerate can be detected, full-blown, in this or that preceding modernism"
Jameson believes that since postmodernism came after modernism there is something lacking in the way postmodernism works.
"As for the postmodern revolt against all that, however, it must equally be stressed that its own offensive features – from obscurity and sexually explicit material to psychological squalor and overt expressions of social and political defiance"
Jameson would believe that this painting is offensive due to his overt expression of social defiance. He would hate "Mona Lisa" is being mocked and he would believe that this image is belittling the original work.
