No one has the right to change or alter an original painting without the written permission from the original artist, no matter how ugly the painting might be or where is found. The reason some “master” paintings end up at thrift stores is because of ignorance. Many master pieces have been rediscovered on thrift stores and even abandoned garages after they were thought to be lost. That does not give anyone the right to change them or alter them.

The copyright law is serious matter, and not knowing it, won’t excuse you from a big fat lawsuit.

Pray none of these artists find what you guys have been doing with those paintings.

Learn the law before you keep at it and promoting your federal violations on the internet copyright.gov

I don’t promote defacing other people’s art, and in my opinion that is not what is taking place here. When paintings die they don’t go to heaven or hell, they go to Goodwill. These boring drab prints have new life thanks to another artist’s vision. They are undoubtedly well loved and hanging in someone’s home, business or office. As a fellow artist I’m excited at the prospect of finding a misunderstood piece to play with. I think this is a fun and playful creative exercise. I can’t wait to try it!

Music has remixes why can’t art? Art is for pleasure and expression not to be differentiated into different classes or held upon a pedestal. Art should be accessible to all, and I’m sure most artists feel the same and would find great pleasure in others adding or remixing their originals. It is not a joke it is expression and no one should attempt to hinder anyone’s expression. I think you really need to reconsider your thought on this matter.
