[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 34031, member: 1061"] [URL="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/26/questions-raised-about-dylan-show-at-gagosian/"]Dylan Paintings Draw Scrutiny[/URL] Apparently Bob Dylan has taken to painting lately. The only problem is, he's copying his works from photographs. Bob Dylan has been under the microscope for this kind of thing before, as lyrics in several of his songs are very similar to known works of poetry. His memoirs received criticism because several parts appeared to be adapted from other written works. Firsthand depictions? Apparently Mr. Dylan was so uninspired on his visits that he felt compelled to copy other artists and then pawn them off in this gallery as his own. My opinion: Life can imitate art. Art can imitate life. But if art imitates art, it's plagiarism. What say you? [/QUOTE]
