"Out with old, in with the new!"

As you can see, we have two pictures that strangely look quite similar. The first, and original one is by Ingres from 1814. The second one, by Martial Raysse is from about 1963.
What Raysse did here is took the original "Grande Odalisque" painting and turned it into something different. He firstly took a photo of it (B&W), then painted over that, keeping just one part of the body.
He also added real life material (new patterns for instance, plastic flies, beads, tissue,..) and changed the name of it to "Made in Japan".
This is one of many examples of innovations to conventional and traditional art. I could say much more, but feel like putting some of my own pictures, otherwise I'll always be commenting on other people's stuff!
And the main purpose of this blog is to express MY feelings and my art.!
