In Response To: Sue happy? (Dustin Parker)

These are the general feelings I like to have about things.

: If she used the Original art and claimed it as her own
: ->> then I would understand everyone’s
: reaction - -but she did her own interpretation of the
: painting - ->> she created it herself- - she did
: not directly steal Mack’s art.

: To be an artist - -you must understand that your art is
: subject to being replicated or mimicked
: and As an artist myself I strongly believe that once you
: create that image and you present it to the
: public then it becomes the property of the public - -they
: can interact with that image however
: they wish to - -and you should encourage that interaction
: - -whatever it may be - -

: Duchamp painted a mustache on the Mona Lisa - ->>
: Bill Sienkiewicz parodied the American
: Gothic (in Electra Assassin)- - the list is endless - -

: you have to recognize that art is always commenting on
: itself - -it is always making a reference to
: itself - -to its own history – and to its own evolution -
: -and we cannot restrict that wonderfully
: interesting and powerful quality of art – art is
: constantly folding back onto itself - -always
: making references to its own past and future - - >>
: This is what makes art at all interesting - -why
: discourage that - -we should embrace that relationship

: and I also believe that art is not to be taken too
: seriously - -as an artist I try not to look at my art
: as something that is MINE- -that I OWN - -because I don’t
: own anything - -I know that my art is
: free to everyone who wishes to experience it - -and
: wishes to let it inspire them or influence them
: - -so who cares if they reproduce it - -

: because when we die we cannot take our art with us – s

: and yes, her painting would had been more interesting if
: she had incorporated her own elements
: into the painting - -possibly making it a self portrait
: as scarab (that may explain the weight gain)
: -– >> or whatever - -but I don’t think its ever a
: crime to commit art - -to create art - -art is never
: a crime - -it is never wrong - - under any circumstances
: to create something - -we can never
: discourage the act of creation - -

: art is something to share - -and experience - - and
: enjoy- - it isn’t property - - it isn’t some sacred
: thing - -its art- -it’s a means of communication and a
: means of expression - - so let it
: communicate - -and let it express something beyond itself
: - -beyond what the artist had intended
: - and stop being so quick to attack people - -

: do you pay a royalty to the guy who wrote happy birthday
: - -? ? (I’m sure that guy deserves a
: few billion dollars )
