And now I'm thinking what if we got 100 people, a cross-section of America, representing all sexes, ages, colors, and sizes, to pose as Marilyn? How hilarious would that be?Carol Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023589628710711343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865764596112100655.post-63278593409758325152008-04-06T23:12:00.000-04:002008-04-06T23:12:00.000-04:00I assume you saw Michael Musto's inspired parody i...I assume you saw Michael Musto's inspired parody in the "Village Voice" of the Lindsay Lohan appropriation of Marilyn.

However, I would argue some appropriation can also be inspired; it really depends on the sensibility - as David wrote aptly "Bad painters doing great painters is a mistake."

I think you're getting at the difference between inspiration and appropriation. Maybe it's the difference between design and art. Picasso did Rembrandt, The Cowboy Junkies did "Sweet Jane", Betty Woodman does Matisse in ceramics. Bad painters doing great painters is a mistake.<BR/>Re-photographing Walker Evans is a one yuk joke.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871967011596063089noreply@blogger.com
