Notions of Originality
Throughout history of art and design, ideas have been re-worked and reformed into new pieces, without loosing the original value of their history. This is evidential in alot of modern work today. For example, Gabrielle d'Estrées- c.1594 unknown, the image portrays two women sitting in a bath, with one holding a ring, a classic piece from the Baroque movement. This was then developed through several centuries with Melanie Manchot The Fontainebleau Series 2001 using photography yet, almost mirroring the original image. This original painting was also reformed into an advertisement in 1998 by Mario Sorrenti. The only difference of this piece of work is that instead of two female figures there was one male and one female, however it became the most publicised version of this idea, an most likely became more famous than the previous and the original alone. 
Another example of orignal pieces of artwork being reused and reformed into different media is Chalk Cliffs on Rugen - 1818, Casper David Friedrich. Painted in the Romantic era of art, the strokes of the paint capture the essence of the waves and the nature of the whole scene. It is then recreated for an album cover of Cliff Richards album Heathcliff, 1996 and a programme for the production of RSC Hamlet, 2009. Even though both these replicas are photography, the both capture the same scenery and both capture the same effects and feeling as the original painting. Without these original pieces of art, the future artists wouldn't of been inspired to create the designs, however, they would of still taken inspiration from someone else. No piece of art work or advertisement is created without 
inspiration from someone else's original idea.
