@Jolieishere Is it copying...maybe but the artwork is in the public domain as is all artwork before 1923 so theres nothing illegal about it.
Rachel Dolezal's painting The Shape of Our Kind is a near duplicate of J.M.W. Turner's 1840 The Slave Ship.pic.twitter.com/DGC7GkkPiu

@voss749 - Claims her original, without referencing Turner's, gives it new title & different description. Unethicalpic.twitter.com/ygiZG9kxXP

@Jolieishere unethical probably yes, illegal no. You can paint a mona lisa call it something else and sell it perfectly legal. -
@voss749 - thanks. I know very little about the art world and copyrights of work. You've educated me.

@Jolieishere@0ryuge She copied a work by one of the true masters of landscape painting and thought no one would notice? smh -
@DMacyBeckwith@0ryuge - One good thing I've gained from following this story is awareness of Turner's work. Ignorant of it before this. -
@Jolieishere I advise you to see the film about Turner if you have not yet done so - it is very good.

@Jolieishere There's an honourable tradition of reinterpreting paintings. Is plagiarism or commentary? -
@Persixty - the honorable thing to do would be to reference Turner's work, which she hasn't. It's almost identical to that famous painting.

@Jolieishere@deray yet for some people, plagiarizing the painting will be more offensive than her having plagiarized a people. -
