- Appropriation -the deliberate reworking of images and styles from earlier, well-known works of art.
In this project, I have researched 2 completely different artists. The have explored appropriation in different ways. Elaine has taken modern artists’ work and has changed them into her own whereas Yasumasa is recreating famous portraits of already dead artists. As a result of my research, I tried to recreate in my own style their way of working to produce a start to final pieces. I explored different styles and techniques however with my amount of skills I couldn’t work as well as they have. As a photographer, I had limited possibilities to work with and make the changes.
Appropriation Artists
Elaine Sturtevan
23 August 1924 – 7 May 2014
Elaine Sturtevan is a master of appropriation. Elaine was born in 1924 in Lakewood, Ohio. She gained her education at the University of Iowa, College of Columbia University, however, her studies were connected to Psychology and teaching. Later on, she studied at the Art Students League in New York. She has recreated works by icons of the 20th century like Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Marcel Duchamp. Elaine created her artwork in order to explore authenticity and creative process. She calls her approach as repetition, by making copies. Although at the beginning the artist was criticised, some artists she borrowed from were not angry, but even helped her. Andy Warhol has cooperated with her by lending original screens for her reproduction of his flower series. Some of the artists were also giving her instructions and showing a technique to create better copies.As the woman who imitates her male colleagues.
As the artist herself said: “The work is done predominantly from memory, using the same techniques, making the same errors and thus coming out in the same place.”
Elaine’s work
Yasumasa Morimura
11 June 1951
Yasumasa was born in Osaka and graduated from Kyoto City University of Arts in 1978. Since 1985, Morimura has primarily shown his work in international solo exhibitions, although he has been involved in various group exhibitions.
Japanese appropriation artist. He reuses images from historical artists and replaces the original faces with his own. The artist uses mostly female portraits.
In my opinion, Yasumasa is trying to hide his desires under the cover of art because of having Japan as a really strict mother country during his childhood. I think that he is trying to feel the passion and desire under a woman’s body
1996

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog
when you could be giving us something informative to read?

Awesome blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or
go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there
that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!
