Is it part of the “folk process” to lift a few specific metaphors or phrases whole from someone else’s work? I really don’t think it is. – Suzanne Vega
Oh, so naive. That might be the way she’d like it to be, but the history of music, poetry and art tells us otherwise.
Bad artists copy. Great artists steal. – Picasso
That Picasso quote also goes to T.S. Eliot
I’m afraid I have to agree with Suzanne and disagree with Michael. Part of what happens with any work of art is a covenant between the person experiencing the art and the artist. Is essence, it boils down to the art is what is says it it. It may be complex, allusive, ironic and layered, it may even be exaggerated…but we know all that coming in. The work itself gives us hints as to how to interpret it. It’s a different thing entirely when a work claims to be original or factual, and isn’t. We’ve been had and we feel, justifiably, annoyed and even betrayed. In our age, originality and innovation are two of the primary aesthetic virtues. I think S.V. is right when she says this was an accident.
