Quote by: Soliloquy  Why would the woman deserve to be punished for being inspired by someone else's art despite what it might look like? |
They are inspired to deface that art with what they deem the method should be used to deface it?

Art is an international language. Artists paint to create to evoke an emotion and to inspire. If Twombly was really set on his 2 million dollars, i guess it would make sense for him to charge her for "damaging" it. Because he's in it for the fame and the fourtion. Though, if i were this artist, i would be wholly complimented and flattered that someone who had come to see my paintings was so impressed they disregarded security and every well taught common sense that you are never allowed to touch expensive things as you would decrease their value or ruin it, and actually walk up to it and display something no one else would even think to try.
:) She is an inspiration herself!

If I had something up for show somewhere, regardless if it was worth millions or just some comic I made in my spare time, money has nothing to do with it.... it's about respecting the work someone put into something for all to appreciate....
If I made a funny little comic book and everybody found it funny and got entertainment out of it as it was, then that's all the reward I require.... but if someone comes along and starts to scribble out speech ballons or change some colors as they see fit, it's no longer my art.... they have now leeched on thinking they made some contribution, when in fact, I have more want to break their kneecaps for such disrespect.
Some of the art I worked on could just be a few hours worth of work.... sometimes a week, sometimes up to a month.... and If I'm gonna spend a month or so on something for others to enjoy, I'll be dammed if I'm gonna let someone screw around wiping their arse with my work and get off free thinking they were inspired.....
..... I'll inspire my foot in their ass!
If they wanted to contribute to the work of art, then they should have had their ass right there when it was being made.... either that or start their own art inspired by it.... not adding to the art......
That's like someone coming along to a sculpture and spraying graffitti all over it..... one art form over another, from two different artists.... inspired or not, what's done is done..... you now have two kinds of artwork ontop of each other and now both look like crap.
You don't have Nissan coming over to Ford and ripping their parts out of their own cars and putting in their own because they were inspired by their 06 model and wanting it to be better.... They go and make their own model to compete or beat....
If you start to allow people to go screwing around with other people's artwork that has been situated over the years, then what's stopping these people causing actual physical damage to these works of art? After so many altercations, exactly how does one determine who's art it is?
Maybe someone could fight in the courts that their altercations to the painting or artwork increased the attention and value of the original art, then start to sue for compensation or the rights to the painting, then everything goes to hell from there......
That's how I see it anyways.
Art isn't something super easy for everybody depending on the level of quality and work you put into it.... some people don't put too much time in their art and don't care.... other's put raw emotions and feelings into what they are trying to express.... they have one or two very important messages they made the art portray, and for some dork to come along and glob their lipstick or their crotch all over it, because they were "inspired", that screws up the original message and meaning, and forever will be changed from what the original artist wanted to potray.
Sure this woman says she was inspired to kiss the picture..... but now that she has done this, exactly how many other's will have an equal inspiration from it? If anything, she's no inspiration to anybody, she just ruined what moved her for everybody else.
Not everybody can draw or paint, much like not everybody can sing or dance..... certain people are good at certain things due to their upbringing and interests.... If we all we're supposed to be artists or athletes, then we would be.... but we're not all the same.... so why should we interfeer with someone else's art, music, project, invention, etc?
