The difference between a "found art" urinal and these is - the urinal was intended as a utilitarian item and re-visualized - that's the whole point of it as art - if forces us to see it in a new way. These images were created as art by the original photographers in the first place. Their costumes, the lighting, the staging, the make up, everything has been designed for the photo-shoot by the original artists. Look at this one - is this just a quick snapshot? No, it's definitely designed!

That's why these are not "found art" these are straight-up stolen. This thief has been sued for this kind of thing before.

The group who created these images are now selling the exact same images for $90

John, by all means start a thread about Alma-Tadema. I like it too.
