I'm by no means an art guy, but this seems like something a high school art student would do.
Who decides this is art because it looks like shit my niece draws on her notebooks.
Anything related to modern art brings out the most compulsive kneejerk reactions from social media and gaf. Despite over a hundred years of worth of recursive movements and reactions, the average person probably assumes what they immediately think of when they see an image is the entire context of a piece. It's just a lost cause.
Somewhere, DuChamp is laughing in his grave.
Since people are saying that because the image in the OP is fine since it's part of a college you can also check this persons post compiling a lot instances where she uses other peoples work or just straight up reposts it under the context of it being originally by her.
I think this somewhat exonerates her, unless you're also mad at Warhol for ripping off Campbell's. But what even is this? Tracing a bunch of random works and throwing them all together? I don't know much about art, but this just strikes me as shit. It offers no commentary, it's just "hey, here's Bart Simpson and Gundam and the Wikipedia logo. ART!"
Have you ever been to an art gallery?

Warhol ran into copyright law too. He ended up having to settle out of court because he used a womans photograph of flowers for his print.To the people complaining that this is part of a collage. There is a difference between this and what Andy Warhol did with the Campbell Soup Cans and what she did with Bart Simpson. The latter two are distinct very well known subjects that would not be thought of as original pieces in or outside of a collage.
Shintaro Kago's piece is a unique piece of art that they themselves made. The public would not know that this isn't an original piece done by her.
http://revolverwarholgallery.com/andy-warhol-art-appropriation/Andy Warhol was not so fortunate after he created his Flowers series. In 1966, he became the subject of a lawsuit brought on by photographer, Patricia Caufield for the use of her photos of hibiscus flowers. The suit was settled out of court, but as a result Warhol decided that he would rather use his own images when he could, which inadvertently launched him into experimenting with a new medium photography.
That's like asking, "Ever play mobile games?" When people are criticising microtransactions in video games. A shitty practice is still a shitty practice, doesn't matter how popular it is.Have you ever been to an art gallery?
Privileged mediocrity pays

I'm not entirely sure why art appropriation is given a pass when musicians, writers, etc. would be completely stoned for lifting passages and production from another person without giving royalties.
Apparently this has been going on for years. This happened back in 2014 https://www.google.com/amp/samrolfe...ok-at-this-shit-hayes-ripping-off-hillock/amp
This is just hilarious (and kinda sad)
Well, there it is.Since people are saying that because the image in the OP is fine since it's part of a college you can also check this persons post compiling a lot instances where she uses other peoples work or just straight up reposts it under the context of it being originally by her.
You sound like a nice guy.
Its just funny when the other legendary artists that were posted in this thread are all... White too.Only one of us is playing the 'nice guy' role and it is not me. I am tired of white mediocrity hyped up like crazy, and yet another white person building themselves or their career on the back of people of colour yet again.
Tell me again if Vice and NYT will give Shintaro Kago a spotlight like they gave this white woman. People are tired. You can deflect as much as you want but increasingly we're not buying it anymore.
Okay I made my own 100% original art now.
Taking all bids.
This is completely antithetical to almost every piece of fine arts since ww2.If your art piece needs it's own paragraph of context for it to make sense, then maybe it's not a very effective piece of art.
you can't knock the hussle
I'm kind of split on this. But the whole topic is kind of giving off gamer gate vibes. Actually, it's about ethics in artistic appropriation.
Here, I made this:
lol my god.

At the end of the day, you can't knock the hussle, and an artist is able to charge whatever they want dependent on their perceived value.
If you're a connoisseur you're going to see the obvious lifts from other work. And maybe not care because you like the kind of montage and are willing to pay that much for it. If you're not, then buy at your own risk.
I mean, if the artist is literally stating in their artistic notes or preface to their work with "Yes i created this, this is all original work by me, and i'm not doing montages of other pieces of art to create a grandiose piece"
Then that's a problem. But otherwise, CAN'T KNOCK THE HUSSLE.

Lol building a temple around Gundam Age of all things.
People have shown receipts on the extent of her plagiarism. She does zero attribution and claims it as her own original work. She never once uses the word 'appropriation,' that's the gallery in its complicity with the scam. Your equivalence is steaming hot shit.
Wtf am I reading here. Calling out white appropriation of works of art by people of colour,how she does not acknowledge her theft, being praised for her theft, is gamer gate?
Does anybody even know if she's actually trying to pass these images off as her own?
And if you think she's bad you should see Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup cans.
man, isn't this great? I really outdid myself this timeViolet_0 said:Okay I made my own 100% original art now.

Come on, man. The thread isn't that long.
All of this is a lengthy aside to that artist making BuzzFeed-caliber quirky art in a dime a dozen gallery.
This is the best art I have ever seen.
You have real talent.
