    Listen, most artists I know, including me are flattered to be “influences”. This idea o copying art is problematic since art students are told to replicate the masters, even in prestigious institutions like the Sorbonne and the Ar Institute of Chicago, And other artists in history have intentionally done works “after” an artist. Faith Ringgold show that tendency in her “Dancing at the Louvre” series.

    Ownership of the Obama Fairy piece is a major topic of discussion especially with the AP suit.

    Think we need clarifications and possibly a distinctmodificationof art education.
