Stealing=Art
by Jennifer Dalton


*Practicing Picasso* by Peter Illig

Young artist Lisa Levy is taking Picasso's famous remark, "Good artists copy--great artists steal," to a whole new level.


*We Can Share* by Kassanda Pontien

Among her many artistic projects, Levy has made an art out of stealing from fellow artists and others she meets. The catch is she does it with their permission and blessing.


*Pickpocket* by Raphael Eisenberg

Upon entering a home, studio or business, she will ask the owner's permission to steal something from the premises. If permission is given, she will then decide what to take, secretly pocket the item, and then later inform the owner of what she has taken.


*Playful Transformations* by Gaby Kubler

Featuring works by PaintingsDirect.com artists.

Levy then displays these items as her own art--while giving credit to her generous donors! See some of Levy's work. (NOTE: This link will open a new window.)
