An important concept in contemporary art is APPROPRIATION.
What do we mean by that?

Why is that so important?

The use of appropriation has played a significant role in the history of arts.The term appropriation refers to the use of borrowed elements in the creation of a new work or refers to the new work itself.

Why was this word not important for artists in the 20ieth century?
