‘A self-described art thief’: how Wayne Thiebaud channeled other artists
The late painter was known for his masterly reinterpretations of famous works but also his own, wide-ranging originals https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/apr/16/wayne-thiebaud-san-francisco-exhibition #art #pastiche #copyright

"Brave Sir Donald"
(With apologies to the Monty Python crew.)

Bravely Bold Sir Donald, strode forth from his resort.
He was not afraid to tariff, O' Brave Sir Donald!
He was not at all afraid to tank his state in stupid ways!
Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave Sir Donald

He was not in the least bit scared to bring the markets down,
Or to tax imported goods, and have inflation surging!
To have his bonds go bad, and his dollars lose their sway!
All his trade deals dumped and broken, Brave Sir Donald!

His congress freaked, and his Fox friends bummed, and his bodyguard scared
And his senate tipped, and his allies pissed, and ten trillion trashed, and his golf time slashed-
…
Brave Sir Donald Ran Away!
Bravely Ran Away Away!
When consequence reared it's ugly head, he bravely turned his rump and fled!
Yes, brave Sir Donald turned about,
And gallantly, he chickened out!
Still unsteady on his feet, he beat a very brave retreat!
Bravest of the Brave, Sir DONALD!

Approximate transcript of an actual conversation at work, discussing presenting on #DeepSpaceObject s (which was nothing to do with either of our jobs):
Them: "Although I've done this sort of thing so much I could just do it on the fly"
Me: "So what's this ?" (gestures at the air)
T: "Well, let's see, that's M42, so the red bits are emission nebula and the blue bits are reflection nebula."
M: "No, the blue bits are emission nebula, and the red bits are reflection nebula."
T: "No, the red bits are emission, and the blue reflection."
M: "Blue bits have always been emission, and red reflection."
T: "Look, don't you start with that blue emission shit again..."

achja, die etwa 1,5 Sekunden #MetallAufMetall-Sample beschäftigen seit 25 Jahren oder länger die Gerichte – die unendliche Geschichte hat mit dem #Pastiche-Konzept einen ganz neuen Drall gekriegt und ist noch nicht auserzählt ...

Ein kleiner Leckerbissen für zwischendurch: Der HipHopper Moses Pelham wird von der Neuen Juristischen Wochenschrift (NJW) zur Causa #MetallAufMetall interviewt.

Die Antworten sind ziemlich geschliffen, enthalten aber auch interessante Passagen zum Gang des mittlerweile über 25 Jahre währenden #Sampling-Rechtsstreits und wie sich die rechtliche Unsicherheit auf die künstlerische Praxis auswirkt, Stichwort #Umgehungskreativität

Frosty Wolves

Two wolves were fighting in my mind
And sorry I could not make them friends
To live the freedom of wolf-kind.
And thus confused I stood, resigned
To wait until their conflict ends.

One wolf, we’re told is dark despair;
The other one is hope and light.
Since yin and yang existed there
I, through reflection, became aware…
Perhaps there never was a fight?

In a false dilemma I’d been caught.
I had to purge the wolf-pretense –
A binary view that I’d been taught.
I broke my chains of polar thought
And that has made all the difference.

Après avoir achevé « Katie », je suis enfin à jour du travail de redécouverte de Michael McDowell par les éditions Monsieur Toussaint Louverture. Si j’ai un peu le sentiment ici d’aborder le travail de l’auteur par son versant le moins frappant, je n’en demeure pas moins convaincu par l’intérêt de la poursuite des hostilités après la surprise « Black Water ».

« Katie » est un roman roboratif, qui joue à plein les poncifs du roman feuilleton dix-neuvièmiste mais avec des outrances narratives quasi humoristiques, et des giclées gores surprenantes. Le souffle que l’on pouvait trouver dans la célèbre saga de l’auteur est ici absent mais le goût du travail bien fait et l’ironie sont bien là, ce qui a suffi à mon plaisir.

« Katie », Michael McDowell, éd. Monsieur Toussaint L’ouverture, 2024
