Tilburne's painting, on the other hand, is a swipe, at least in the group of nine wolves in the rear. Tilburne clearly traced the wolves, then reversed the image to fit his composition. The rest of his painting may be original, so it's not a total swipe. Also, no one at the time may even have noticed that Tilburne had swiped Cronin's wolves. When somebody swipes from Frank Frazetta, though, it's obvious (and pretty shameless I might add).<br /><br />Thanks for writing.<br /><br />THTerence E.

Personally, I'd be inclined to classify these as inspiration rather than swipes, as they are each copying a concept of design rather that the actual structure of the earlier images. Artists have been doing this forever. Van Gogh's "Starry Night" was inspired by another painting of the same name; a less famous but none the less impressive work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263957025573611416noreply@blogger.com
