You're missing the point. Imitation is the artistic act in question. The act of "creation". The question is what does the imitation bring to the viewer's experience of it? "Starry Night" brings a lot. A photocopy of it probably doesn't. What does the imitation create or express?
- dang 2y agoCan you please edit out swipes like "You're missing the point" from your HN comments? They degrade the threads and frequently evoke worse from others.
