Over the years we have featured a number of versions
of well-known paintings and sculptures. They make them big, they make them
small, they form them from trees and carve them out of ice. Here, following up
on the recent Seurat post, is A Sunday
afternoon on La Grande Jatte subjected to the full gamut of copycat and
lookalikeism. Not so sure Seurat would be amused - he was very clear on the
copycat / lookalike issue, “originality depends only on the character of the
drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.” Still, it’s a chance for us to
show off our past achievements in this field.
