"The Art of Appropriation" with Deborah Winiarski
Appropriation – the ‘borrowing’ of pre-existing objects or images – has played a significant role in the history of art. In this age of the Internet, the sharing and appropriation of images has become even more pervasive. This lecture explored the history of appropriation in art and the sometimes very fine lines between appropriation, plagiarism, influence and inspiration. Differences between derivative vs. transformative work and the impacts on artist copyright were also discussed.
