A Theory of Parody: The Teachings of Twentieth-Century Art Forms (1984) is a work by Linda Hutcheon. It deals, as its title implies, with parody in twentieth century art.

On page 47 Linda Hutcheon notes that the lower right hand inset of the red silk-screened figures of Rauschenberg's Retroactive I ends up looking like Masaccio's Expulsion of Adam and Eve. The pointing finger is the finger of god, Kennedy.
