"art is either revolution or plagiarism" : Gaugin

Are most scenic photos little more than decorative plagarism?

 

[Vaughn]

Probably, most portraits are.

What people have to come up with to flog a few pictures.
Why cant they say, heres my picture, what do you reckon.

Why cant they say, heres my picture, what do you reckon.

Because almost no one responds to that, unless the picture is very interesting or very bad.

Who cares if a photo can be considered plagiarism, if it's not actual plagiarism? It doesn't make the photo better or worse - it still has to be judged on it's own.

Furthermore, copying photos and photographic styles is fun and educational.

 

[MattKing]

Not Plagiarism.
I liken it to the performing arts - is someone who sings someone else's song plagiarising it.
I don't worry if a photograph I make has similarities with something someone else made. If my photograph succeeds, I am happy.

Somehow I'm reminded of Jean Baudrillard and his concept of "Simulacrum."

That's just what I was thinking too.

decorative plagarism

I don't think that's a real term. It really doesn't mean anything. All art builds on what came before to a certain extent.

Painters have a better handle on this. Robert Rauschenberg was so influenced by Willian deKooning, it was driving him crazy. So he marched over to deKooning's studio w/ an eraser in hand and told him about this. The outcome was that they both looked through deKooning's drawings to find a suitable one, and Rauchenberg erased most of it. He then exhibited it under the title Erased deKooning.

Made quite a stir in the art world. He was showing how everything that comes before can and will influence us now, whether we're consciously aware of it or not. It was his way of trying to get dKooning out of his system. An art purge, if you will.

Interesting concept, like hyperreal.

I would agree with both those statements.

On the other hand, if the art object is interesting to me I don’t care if it’s revolutionary, plagiarism or decorative plagiarism.

There certainly aren’t that many revolutionaries out there- we wouldn’t have much to look at if the plagiarist’s work disappeared!

Somehow I'm reminded of Jean Baudrillard and his concept of "Simulacrum."

" in the third order of simulacra, which is associated with the postmodern age, we are confronted with a precession of simulacra; that is, the representation precedes and determines the real."

Is this when a movie is made before the book is written?
