Sorry sloepoke, your args make no sense. You're comparing her to a designer baby clothing company and an artist who intentionally imitates others and calls it art. She miles from both of those things.

Because two artists create something similar in no way means that one is an imitation of the other. If you'd take a stroll down art history-lane you'd realize that. Your assumptions are that she is copying when you have no idea if she's copying or not, other than your superior intellect of course.

Have you bothered to read her artist statement? (Go on, run off and read it so you can respond with a witty come back).

Whether you like something or not has no bearing on its validity or worth -- it's simply your opinion, backed up only by off-hand and nonsensical references to other artists that you dislike. If you have a problem with Anne Geddes and Sherry Levine so much, write them a letter and let them know.

I happen to like this photo a lot, as well as a lot of her other work. The difference, of course, is that I understand that it's my *opinion* that it's good, and our opinions are nothing more than that. I don't like the work because I like similar pieces by other artists -- I like the photo in itself.

Meg. What you're saying is that its unfair to compare the two, but if one was (and you are), then one is better -- oh and by the way one has like a multi-million dollar budget, and you've got to cover half of the other with a sheet. Got it.

I love it!

@meg: Your comment makes me think that you maybe haven't made art before. When I was in school people were constantly making amazing, original, pieces. Months later they'd find out that somebody, somewhere, probably more famous, made something similar.

It also misses the point of making art in the first place: to explore and express ideas. If you compare what's going on in the photos, they're very very different. In Zwicks photo the girls are consciously going forth and exploring the unknown! That dude in Crewdsons photo has no idea of the nether regions beneath. Kinda looks like he just wants to get a clot of hair out or something.
