We could argue that "Venus" is a tradition in art, addressed by Botticelli, Cranach, Redon, Moreau, and many others - so this is not appropriation.</p>
<p>Then again, the contrapposto and orange seem inspired by Botticelli, much like an homage or appropriation. </p>Rocco commented on 'Image of the Week - Rineke Dijkstra'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e200d834a968af53ef2006-08-18T15:00:55Z2007-08-17T10:47:11ZRoccohttp://www.iprobablyhateyou.blogs.comAw is that a beach photo of you? totally cute.<p>Aw is that a beach photo of you?</p>

<p>She's one of the great photographers of her generation, and marvellous at capturing the gaucheness of teenagers as they turn into adults. She is also much more sympathetic to her subjects than most of the other great photographers of people of her generation: compare her pictures with Lorca di Corcia or Thomas Ruff, for instance. She rocks.</p>billbob commented on 'Image of the Week - Rineke Dijkstra'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451694c69e200d834ddee4069e22006-08-16T01:58:04Z2007-08-17T09:27:56ZbillbobNice connection to Botticelli.

Her images are deceptively simple but have an indescribable quality of beauty about them that could allow me to stare at them for hours.</p>
<p>Hah, a slight slight similarity to Lux but much much better without looking nearly as labored.<br />

<p>So Rineke copies a classic painting in a overly simple photo.. big deal.</p>
<p>These are soooo not original, and will be forgotten even faster than the Loretta Lux work!<br />

And yes.. she did appropriate the image, which is exactly what makes these portraits important. </p>
<p>Rineke captured that middle ground, "Sweet Spot" in today's hyper-popular art world. The space between a concepteptual reference to past art history, and creating a new beautiful picture. It hence can appeal to both the intellectual art academic, and the new rich collectors looking for something "pretty" to put above their living room sofa!</p>
<p>Great choice MAO!<br />
