This document discusses the concept of appropriation in art, which involves adapting, borrowing, recycling, or sampling aspects of an existing work. To properly appropriate, the appropriated content must be recontextualized by stripping it of its original meaning and giving it a new meaning. As an example, it analyzes Edouard Manet's 1863 painting Olympia, which appropriated elements from Titian's 1576 painting Venus of Urbino by depicting a reclining nude in a similar pose but in a modern context to subvert expectations.
