Legendary songwriter Bob Dylan is once again at the center of a controversy about plagiarism, but this time it's not about his words or his music — it's about his painting. The Asia Series, Dylan's current one-man show at the Gagosian Gallery in New York, was initially billed as the musician's visual response to his travels through Asia. But as it turns out, many of the pictures are direct copies from historical photographs.

Una fotografía no es pintura y una pintura no es foto. Ademas no se trata de hiperealismo por tanto es una interpretación de la imagen, es decir es algo "nuevo".
Esto ya lo hacía Utrillo, que viviendo en Paris, tomaba de postales y fotos de la ciudad los temas para sus pinturas.
Claro,a menos que Bob haya contado otra cosa...
