This article discusses the two different perspectives from Joy Garnett and Susan Mediselas. And this article also mentions something like the former article talking about—the originality and borrowing work. Garnett uses the image from “The Molotov Man” in her work as an inspiration. And Meiselas also takes the photo of “The Molotov Man”. So there is an argument of the ownership of the Molotov Man. This question is quite like the former article that the author discusses the plagiarism. Many artists may borrow the idea from other people’s work. And this article is talking about the conflicts that they both borrow one point as an inspiration.
From the article, it is not hard to find out Garnett and Mediselas actually have two different understanding of the Molotov man. I think it is natural that they use it in different ways. But the important thing is, what is mentioned in the last post, the art itself. How the artists recreate the elements decide whether the work coincide and need to discuss the ownership. Actually, there is still no answer to these conflicts. I hope that maybe in the future we can have seldom struggling and the artists can produce their work easier.
