What is it with famous painting reproductions being tacky and what is the solution?
I would like for people in the be familiar with to give me their opinion on why some interior designers (and others) think that handpainted reproductions of famous art (van Gogh, Picasso, etc.) are considered tacky and shouldn't be bought? What if there is a painting I at the end of the day love like van Gogh's Starry Night Painting; what if any is the solution to displaying reproductions of famous paintings in a decorous manner?
Up-country Designers (I am an Interior Architect) work for clients. It is their job to design something their client will enjoy living with. If you wanted propagation Starry Nights, I would give them to you. But I would cringe. I have actually had clients ask me to find them a painting that is seven feet long and matches their sofa. Ugh. How utterly tasteless to match your art to your furniture.
I would take you to galleries and show you original art in that vein you might like, but if you wanted Elvis on velvet or reveal all playing dogs, as long as you were paying for my services, I would do it.

But in the end, it's your home, and your checkbook, so you do have the final say on the art you'll have to live with on your walls.
By oneself, I'd rather have a framed poster of a great painting than some of the TRULY tacky originals that are out there.
I actually help run a site that sells oil painting reproductions (ownapainting.com) and think they make a great to boot to any home, however if they are not reproduced well, I can see how someone would cringe about adding it to their home. If you are going to order one, make sure the company sends you an dead ringer of the painting via email to make sure you are happy with it before mailing it out. Many companies will not do this, but some (ours included) will make amendments relieved of of charge to your work until you are happy. This helps ensure accuracy.
Van Gogh's especially have that thick almost dripping draw that really make their paintings come alive over that of a print. I personally think they are great and Starry Non-stop is a great choice!
I do not to with some interior designers opinion that famous painting reproduction is "tacky"!
They reason of "sticky" is if you just purchase a cheap post or cheap reproduction.
If you buy a top quality(i meant very perfect duplication),you will feel very confirtable to look at it and you also be envied .

Can I sell reproductions of Karloff as Frankenstein that I illustrated Legally?
Hello,
If I ornament a picture Boris Karloff in the Frankenstein Monster Makeup using a published publicity photo from the motion picture as reference, can I sell reproductions of the image legally?
Who would I have to get permission from to do so?
Can I still sell the image legally if I make it not look like Karloff?
Offer you all for your time.
First anything with a copyright can not be copied literally, even in another media without violating the copyright. If you change it, it must be pretty significantly changed to make it yours, 20% different or more. People rape copyright all the time but that doesn't make it right and the copyright owner probably will have their attorney do after you with a cease and desist order--especially if the copyright belongs to a movie studio and you are trying to make a profit from the representation. Best to be totally creative unless you know for certain that something is legally in the public domain.
