- ryanburk 12y agothe wikipedia url needs a trailing period: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibovitz_v._Paramount_Pictures_Corp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibovitz_v._Paramount_Pictures.... [edit] that apparently HN lops off. I haven't found a way around it.

- mc32 12y agoI don't think they can successfully copyright their style. Art is all about using and recycling other people's works. The art would not progress if there wasn't derivation. Wan't it Picasso who said "Good artists copy, great artists steal (ideas)"? Also, artists tend to evolve over time. Few artists like to remain stuck in one style for fear of being thought as unimaginative or lazy (you could look into all the flak Ansel Adams gets). Also some like Kinkade made their style into a business and people expected a certain style so he could not get away from that. Most successful photographers evolve their style over time --Winogrand, Friedlander, Eggleston, Atget, Frank, Moriyama, etc.
