Art vs Art #4

In this fourth article of Art vs Art we will see, on the one hand, clear tributes to previous artists such as the one to Duchamp made by Sherrie Levine, who reinterprets in a modern way the famous urinal - work that at the time was per se a break with the previous art.

On the other hand, we will see works that are similar for the use of colors and atmospheres, such as the ones from Rothko and Caspar David Friedrich - which in turn are references to the steamy air of Turner and to the skies of Leonardo da Vinci - or for the subject portrayed, such as the ones from the master of light Caravaggio and the amazing Artemisia Gentileschi.
