After learning about this debate in class today, it was something that I found incredibly interesting, and I wanted to do more research on the subject. \u00a0There have been opposing opinions on either side of this debate, and I feel as though each of their arguments do make a fair case to either justify or condemn the Chapman Brothers’ adjustments to Goya’s famous pieces.<\/p>\n
One of the first articles I read was from The Guardian, where they felt as though these adjustments were disgracing Goyas memory in his death and that they were uncalled for. \u00a0However, I do not feel the same way that the Guardian does. \u00a0I look at the example of Bansky’s street work across the globe where people feel as though it is vandalism. \u00a0Taking the same approach to understanding this artwork, I do not view the Chapman Brother’s work as vandalism. \u00a0I think that they are reproducing in image in the way that it has affected them and their culture and ideas, just as Banksy depicts his opinions of society on street and city walls. \u00a0 I do find the images to be rather creepy, but in that sense they are still beautiful.<\/p>\n
What is your opinion? \u00a0Is this just another version of vandalism or do you think that it is artistic genius?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
