  1. I am getting really tired of repeated talk of cultural appropriation when at times it can be simplified attributes or key characteristics or transformative interpretation of somethings as though it were a "blatant rip-off" of other's artwork or style and that it had never existed before. Everyone is going to influence everyone else. So get over this nonsense of comparing ones like Picasso being equivalent to a conquistador. That's BS
    If anything you should be investigating this nonsense of no-talent ,lackies of putting a banana on the wall or "invisible sculpture" only to call it " conceptual art"

  2. The conquistadors and colonizers were the conquistadors and colonizers. The artists were simply civies who woke up one morning and were influenced by what they saw 🤷🏿‍♂️

  3. The earlier influence of Chinese and Japanese painting, sumi-e, or ukiyo-e, on Impressionist painters is not mentioned here. What I find unacceptable is to proclaim that modern art is an "overcoming" of representational art. In many, many cases, modern art is "a step backward". Many very expensive works exhibited in museums are simply a bluff.

  4. "Appropriated from people THEY considered primative" or appropriated from cultures YOU consider primitive. Nobody ever accuses a primitive or equally advanced society of cultural appropriation because the idea of cultural appropriation needs the appropriated property to come from a LESSER civilization, society, or people. It is a bad idea to organize individuals into monolithic cultures races and civilizations in your mind. When you bring it to its logical conclusion it becomes prejudice but for now it is just incoherent.
