Chinese copyists
I'm posting a photo from Robert Genn's "Painters Keys" newsletter from today. He also writes:

Wow Marvin, that is freaky. Imagine, you too can have your own Marvin Mattelson reproduction painting for only "USD" as their shopping cart tells me.
I don't suppose there is anything you can do to get your stuff pulled off there?
One of the first things we learned in Kindergarten and Sunday School was to "not steal". Reproducing art that is in the public domain for money is one thing - grabbing stuff up from websites of artists that are still alive and painting is far another.
It seems to be an accepted part of the Chinese culture as it pervades everything from CDs to shoes to paintings. And the government does little to dissuade it.

Michael, I sent the site an email requesting removal of my name and images from their site. I was told it would be removed soon. I guess soon hasn't arrived yet.
There was actually a "sponsored link" to their site if you did a Google search for "marvin mattelson". I notified Google of the fact they were facilitating copyright infringement and the sponsored link was gone the next day.
In the meantime I may offer portraits of Chairman Mao on my site for a few yen.

Marvin, I guess this means you have arrived?
Just kidding. . .about something that I shouldn't kid about. It's despicable! And this goes on even without the "orphan art works" bill!

I see they're offering Bill Whitaker's stuff too, and work by Tony Ryder, Kirk Richards and many others.
