Abstract
- Copying is bad; originality is good. That's what we learn from toddlerdom on. In art as in life, be yourself. Don't pretend. Nobody likes phonies, fakes or frauds. Forgery is illegal. Authenticity is holy. But wait. Copying and imitating have been the rule for most of the history of human civilization. In the West artists from Raphael to Picasso have profited from copying the works of others. In art there is no such thing as pure originality. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
