I think that the two of you have done an amazing job capturing the spirit of each image in keeping with the theme. Shag would approve.
As for the print vs. original conversation - yes, of course an original is always going to be the real thing and a print the shadow version BUT in this particular case, the artist strives to purposefully create a two-dimensional image that recalls the classic graphic illustration art of the mid-twentieth century, which, by design was intended to be seen and appreciated as a lithographed illustration in print advertising and poster art.
Therefore, in this instance, because the end product - the reproduction of 1950s graphic design is what informed the current work, it is therefore closer in spirit and intent than the original.
And you can quote me on that.
