That is so much more honorable than selling low quality forgeries.

Perhaps someone should explain the expression
"Carrying coals to Newcastle" to this person.

Cheesy - yes
Ethical - no
Legal - yes

Interesting ethical question though - the work is in the public domain
(at least all the images I saw, picking around their web site for
awhile), and there doesn't seem to be any effort made towards pushing
them as by the original artist, so there isn't any problem in that
direction.
So why not legit and ethical? After all, there is a big market in photo
based repro's of famous works which is generally considered legit &
ethical; if someone was good enough to make an even better hand-made
repro's, why not?
Just curious - most of the Asian knockoffs I've seen in person are
pretty poor.

silimar with the origianl works, can they replace that, or only in the
aspect of some taste?
I don' believe all the reproduction is cheesy, and I imagine there is
an forgery more fascinating somewhere on the earth. If that is true,
the reproducting would no longer be reproducting, and will be
"creating" just only in the form of someother works, but with different
spirit.
Maybe I am kidding.

>So why not legit and ethical?
Artists have been "copying" the old master for
a long time, sometimes with the blessing of the
museums in which the masters hang - such as the
Louvre.
The problem arises when someone passes the copy
off as an "original." And that is more likely to
happen with more contemporary artists who are
unknown globally. I understand what is happening
now is that the Chinese are offering both prints
and "originals" which are being copied from
web site images of artists who have their work
on the web. It's going to be interesting to see
how this new "reproduction"industry in China pans out.
Articles on the subject claim that literally thousands
of Chinese are training as "artists" currently.

A photo reproduces the work and ideas of the original artist. Perhaps
not as clearly as the original but it is still the work of a particular
artist that is of interest.
Hand painted reproductions removes the artists work entirely and simply
steals the idea. What is important in all the arts is not just the idea
but what a particular artist does with that idea. That is why it is
neither legit or ethical as far as I am concerned.
A really good forgerie can be a lot of fun however. Especially if it
is a "new" or "undiscovered" work of a great artist. The forger
becomes so intimate with the workings of another artist that they are
able to inhabit the physical and mental space of that artist. Thats
fun. Legit or ethical? No of course not.
