This article has art copyright as its theme. With this in mind, I examine the boundaries of copyright depending on who makes a new artistic creation based on a previous work. Various examples where existing works are copied form the basis for my analysis and discussion of different approaches to the use of our tangible cultural heritage. Three perspectives on originality are elaborated on in the question of what a famous artist can do that an amateur may not. One perspective sees originality as something inherent in the artist, another that all works are adaptations of what already exists, a third that the recipient is involved in the creation of the work. In this article, the didactic perspective plays a major role. It reveals opportunities for teaching where understanding the boundaries of art copyright can open doors to a world of new aesthetic experiences.
