DO YOU COPY?

I'm sure that we all do. I do.

Richard wrote a nice post this morning and had a photograph of some Frida Kahlo masks (self portrait*) in it.
Lynn admires Frida Kahlo's art and years ago when in Vietnam or Laos bought a copy of Kahlo's Nude With Calla Lilies.

It's a pretty good copy and hangs nicely in the kitchen at the rear of the house.

We also, years ago at an art exhibition at the Unitec art school in Auckland, bought a Ralph Hotere copy by a young and talented artist. This is painted on cloth that we had float-mounted in a frame. It's a big painting and hangs nicely in the study.

This one's not a direct copy of a Hotere painting. It's more of an homage to his style with references pictorially and in writing to Hotere's influences including Bill Manhire.
It's really good and we are pleased to have bought it.

There's so much talent out there.
