Truth is beauty
I really adore how people react when the young & old Dylan acts. 🙂

It is clear that one is a copy of another. It is clear which was first.
If he wanted to copy that photograph, why didn't he paint it without colors, just like the photograph is?
:bang::bang::bang:
I didn't know he was an artist (celebrity, yes): musical or otherwise.
I find this depressing. My opinion of Dylan has plummeted.
I wonder if he paid Chinese labor to copy and paint the damn things as well?
I think perhaps Juan is simply defending peoples right to do as they wish, unless he is an Uber Dylan fan of course, but along with the ethical issues this raises it is also an insult to everyone who makes original art.
I find this depressing. My opinion of Dylan has plummeted.
Some people here keep comparing Dylan's copies to the likes Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons work, but they seem unable to see that in most cases their works also take the original to new places. It's a bit like photographing a great piece of architecture like the Guggenheim Bilbao, every photographer pretty much has their own viewpoint when they photograph it, it's still obviously the same place but seen differently, Dylan and others who do this didn't even try to see things differently!
So when is it ok and when is it not? As in when is it seeing things differently (e.g. as Juan pointed out, adding colours, is that seeing things differently?)
So, how would you like to be me and suffer going to all those horrible parties in the 1960s with his records playing. I used to say, 'Do you have any Gene Pitney?'
When I was a little boy living on the farm I saved and saved to by a transistor radio, then finally one day we went to town and in a second hand shop I found one I could afford, bought it, turned it on and there was Gene Pitney!
