Visual artists sometimes
create a work based on a past work of art.Eduard Manet created Le
Déjeuner sur l’herbe (1883) based on Marcantonio
Raimondi’s The Judgment of Paris (c. 1488–1530). Yasumasu
Morimura created Portrait (Twins) (1988) based on Eduard Manet’s
Olympia (1863).
Sometimes the artist’s agenda is political, satirical, or
imitative, andsometimes the artist chooses this way to challenge established
aesthetic values.
Choose a work of visual
art, in this same spirit, that was created between 1870 and 1930, anywhere in
the world, which resonates with you personally.
Write a 1,050- to

personal statement using one of the following contemporary visual arts media:
