THEORY BVA 213 WEEK NINE  2/09/2019 (SEMESTER TWO)






So we watch the movies on replicas paintings, counterfeited and the a village in China https://www.dafenvillageonline.com/art_for_project.html 

In my opinion I would not replicate or counterfeit work to on sell.  Would I buy one? Well I purchased a Vincent van Gogh from the Museum in The Netherlands already framed.  Now I dont think I would, maybe i would really look at the original and admire  the work instead, but then I new not alot about art.  



First Steps, after Millet,

In fall and winter 1889–90, while a voluntary patient at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh painted twenty-one copies after Millet, an artist he greatly admired. He considered his copies "translations" akin to a musician's interpretation of a composer's work. He let the black-and-white images—whether prints, reproductions, or, as here, a photograph that his brother, Theo, had sent—pose "as a subject," then he would "improvise color on it." For this work of January 1890, Van Gogh squared-up a photograph of Millet's First Steps and transferred it to the canvas.


I guess as an emerging artist I would love to have a play and paint one of his images but only for practice purposes.  As an emerging artist I am very strict about copying other peoples work and on selling as your own.  I guess we all look at work and get inspiration from them, but not replicate it.
