I once introduced the works of Japanese photographer Yasumasa Morimura, who in the 21st century imitated world-renowned figures. Actually, prior to this, he also mimicked many famous Western oil paintings under the theme "Daughter of Art History." For instance, he appropriated the portraits of Van Gogh and Rembrandt, replacing the characters in the paintings with his own face. The result of such work will depend on how you view it, thus lying somewhere between the master's masterpiece and his personalized performance.
