In 1936 Walker Evans photographed this women from Alabama she was a women in a state of the depression. In 1979 Sherrie Levine rephotographed the original image however Sherrie levine changed the context of Walkers image. People will argue that this is stealing another photographers work by reproducing it, other will say it is her image as she photographed something herself and changed the idea of the photograph.

| This is the original photograph of Marilyn Monroe, Looking at the same idea as Sherrie Levine of reproducing photographs, Andy Warhol has done the same by using iconic images of famous people to create pop art. this still leaves us with the same question is it stealing or not? People say he is bringing iconic images to life so they don't think twice unlike Sherrie levin we do question her work a lot more as she hasn't really changed the photograph at all she has just changed the context its in. Two of the same ideas yet shown in very different way who is right? |
