Journal #1 - Case Study

I think that the LEGO interpretation of the Mona Lisa made by an appropriation artist. This contemporary artist’s work is an appropriation because they made enough changes to Leonardo da Vinci’s original Mona Lisa. After learning about Law, Art and Ethics, it’s understood that Leonardo da Vinci didn’t have copyright laws for his painting due to the reason that these laws didn’t exist at the time. However, even if these laws existed, the Mona Lisa interpretation was created beyond 50 years after Leonardo da Vinci’s death. Also, this artist has appropriated the famous painting in order to challenge the way it was being viewed. This was done by using LEGO pieces to create a character that reassembled the Mona Lisa. Therefore, thus art piece is not theft, but appropiation.
