Picasso famously said that good artists copy, great artists steal. To which we can add that con artists rip people off. #RoyLichtenstein https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/apr/09/new-allegations-of-plagiarism-against-roy-lichtenstein

The #documentary features comic book expert David Barsalou, who has traced about 300 Lichtenstein works to other artists: “I thought, maybe there’s only four, five or six paintings that he did close to the originals. But it was hard to describe my feelings as I started discovering more and more over the years that his images were like just direct copies.”

Meanwhile in the #artworld...

The extent to which #RoyLichtenstein depended on (or 'stole' if you prefer) #comicbook art (and #artists) is now much clearer.

We've always known that RL sometimes 'appropriated' comic book imagery for his iconic #PopArt works, but the newly realised extent of dependence on the work of others, is now reviving the question:

at what point does appropriation become theft?

This may well turn out to be a quantity issue, not a quality one
