I wouldn't like anyone to take this as an anti-Warhol statement. Even today his influence is everywhere.<br /><br /><b>jane </b><br />Thanks for these kind words.<br /><br /><b>Jenny </b><br />Thank you so much for this comment. It does mean a great deal.<br /><br /><b>Trellissimo </b><br />If only...! Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Jim </b><br />A warm welcome to you. Yes, that's true. I was more thinking though of the artists who plagiarise other artists, or who sail very close to that line. Much appreciate your input. Thank you.<br /><br /><b>Daydreamertoo </b><br />Thanks for the kind words. I think he was not so much interested in the seeing as in the concept behind the work. Personally, I have always thought concept art closer to philosophy than traditional works.<br /><br /><b>Carl </b><br />Yes, it is interesting to compare what I've produced with the works of others, I've found.<br />Sorry you've had such difficulty getting through. I've had a few issues myself. Not sure what's been going on.<br /><br /><b>Mary </b><br />And a very worthy philosophy, I do agree. Much repetition (let's call it that) is unawares, I am sure. Deliberate plagiarism is something else though. I saw a cartoon once - in Punch, I think, of a sculptor on a scaffold at the apex of a massive sculpture that he had obviously been chipping away at for months - if not years. Miles away, down on the ground is a little man in pinstripes looking up and saying: "It's been done!" I guess that's what I was getting at.<br /><br /><b>Helen </b><br />Thanks for this. Maybe all art is original in its time and becomes cliche later.<br /><br /><b>Jackie </b><br />Yes, I was at art school before Warhol. What I remember most now, is the difference between the art world before and after. It was poetry before and after Eliot. Good to have you visiting. Thank you very much for your input.<br /><br /><b>Kat </b><br />Bless you! Thanks so much for this.<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />Precisely. As per my reply to Jackie above. I don't especially LIKE Warhol's work from an aesthetic point of view, but thats not the main point.<br /><br /><b>Manicddaily </b><br />That must be true. Maybe someone ought to do something about it!<br /><br /><b>Kathe </b><br />Hi, welcome to you. and thank you for commenting. It's good just to know you're visiting.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke </b><br />I didn't know the first bit, but I agree with the rest.<br /><br /><b>Wayne </b><br />Hi, Good to have your visit and your comment.

In literature they always say there are only a certain number of basic plots. In poetry, well how many times do we say the same thing in different words? Art as well...how many ways to paint a rose? I think as long as something is enjoyable for the one who creates, the more power to him/her. If someone thinks their 'thing' is original, who am I to burst his/her balloon?
