Musicians often "cover" songs recorded by other artists, developing a new interpretation of it. Artist Jeff Wall "covered" a work by Hokusai with his A Sudden Gust of Wind (after Hokusai). How does Wall's work create a dialogue with Hokusai's? How do the differences in their works speak to the viewer about the intentions or purposes of both artists? How does this "cover" represent the theme of
"Art and Art"?
What will be an ideal response?
Art can be its own theme. Some artists draw from artwork created in previous decades or centuries to re-contextualize the image and subject matter to result in a new dialogue and appreciation of the "art" of the work.
