And a very good one, because Whitney was impactful enough and people know about her struggle. Her death, like it or not, is part of pop culture and, as gut-wrenching as it might be for some, it's the reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juanjo 1,198 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Wouldn’t expect anything less from that person, he seriously needs help. Also, call it “art” (it definitely is not), but this is extremely offensive to Whitney’s memory, and extremely insensitive to her family and all those who cared about her, including her fans. This is just cheap, easy, cruel, tasteless, and low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga has never used another person's privacy and past for her own work. I don't have a problem with the photo itself. If he took a pic of his bathroom I wouldn't care at all. But this is disrespectful, disgusting and humiliating. I get what he was trying to say with the picture, but there were endless possibilities how to do it and don't harm anyone. He sadly chose the way that will give him more attention. Just imagine Whitney was your daughter. How would you feel after you've seen this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here she is recreating the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat from Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Marat. In the same project with Robert Wilson she appeared as the decapitated head of John The Baptist. I think she also recreated the assassination attempt on Warhol in her Candy Darling films. If those examples of her using a public figures downfall are to far removed from them being alive, Gaga recreated an ugly moment in Monica Lewinsky's life on stage at the American Music Awards. She name checks a murdered child and women who killed themselves in Dance In The Dark. None of those things are bad, or wrong. It's art baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just want to sound like a highly educated person who knows what art is and others can choke. How is paying for a photo and using it as album cover art? There's also evidence that Whitney's family doesn't agree with that. If you consider harming other people's feeling just to get more attention an art. Ok, then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, then I don't mean to sound like I'm lecturing you, I just like this stuff. So, don't be offended. Many musicians appropriate already existing photographs for their album covers. Like, Led Zeppellin using a photo of the Hindenburg disaster, or the Scissor Sisters using one of Mapplethorpe's photographs of the now deceased ballet dancer Peter Reed. That basically is the definition of graphic design. As for Whitney's family objecting to the image being used, that is unfortunate. However, it was her choice to become a public figure, and that choice came with her forfeiting a lot of her rights to privacy. In the same way JonBenét Ramsey's family is probably unhappy with their murdered relative being made into pop music fodder by Lady Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
