I think you are after the painting called "The Outsider" (1988) by Gordon Bennett. It's an oil, synthetic polymer on canvas, 290 x 180 cm. Im in year 12 doing an essay about appropriation, that image is situated (among heaps others im sure) in 'ART NOW - Contemporay Art Post - 1970' It's our class set for the year. Good luck with that people.

an example of appropriation is Marcal Duchamp who used DaVinci's "Mona Lisa" and drew a moustache and beard on her face

appropriation basically is a strategy that was employed by artits to challenge the notion of 'originality'. try artists such as sherrie levine, cindy sherman, imants tillers, michael johnson etc.

I am also doing a case study on the gordon bennett's artwork "the Outsider". I am in year 10. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas whether there are political messages displayed in the artwork.Is there any political messages in it?

There are alot of political messages in this piece...depends how far you want to go. White man is the outsider in Africa (in most countries) nad has torn the free thinking minds of the indigineous population and cultures. Colonization has left its body hand print...white man is the two headed snake...
he's made his bed and now has to lay in it.

yes there is political issues in it. gordon bennett only found out he was an aboriginal wen he was older so all his works are about identity. but also about colonialism- he looks at the settlers who came to aus n killed all the aborigonals wen they came- all his works are to do with this issue:-)

slightly rude, not much information about appropriation referring to artwork in dictionary, maybe you should form a more positive attitude to helping people rather then giving them obvious, un-needed sarcastic commments. one should maybe get a life.

Rude much. Way to deter young people from being interested in and inquisitive about art.

Hi, I'm currently completing a Year 12 Art Issues Assignment, and am looking at appropriation of artworks as an Art Industry issue. I would really appreciate any input anybody might have concerning appropriation - whether or not you agree with it as a concept (in particular for use in advertising), and any links you might have to useful resources like articles, papers, images etc that are involved with the issue.

Thankyou.
