Composition with Fruit, Guitar and Glass!. 1912!. Pablo Picasso!.
Composition with mixed media - Majid FarahaniTo appropriate something involves taking possession of it!. In the visual arts, the term appropriation often refers to the use of borrowed elements in the creation of new work!. The borrowed elements may include images, forms or styles from art history or from popular culture, or materials and techniques from non-art contexts!. Since the 1980s the term has also referred more specifically to quoting the work of another artist to create a new work!. The new work does not actually alter the original per se; the new work uses the original to create a new work!. In most cases the original remains accessible as the original, without change!.

She took a book of Walker Evans photographs and photographed those and showed them as her own work, opening a whole can of worms about aesthetics and the merits of an image and what exactly we pay a whole lot of money for!. also, Warhol had his soup cans and Marylins, for another example!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
