ARTnews (h\/t Danwei<\/a>) writes<\/a> about an early case of Chinese piracy:<\/p>\n

\nThe label reads: \u201cGeorge Washington c. 1800\u20131805.\u201d The work is a copy of a Gilbert Stuart painting attributed to a Chinese artist named Foeiqua\u2014who, like other artists in China, made a number of reverse paintings on glass. (The artist paints on the back of the glass so that the image can be seen from the front.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe painting was donated by a Connecticut woman, Caroline N. Dealy,\u201d Hyland said. \u201cShe said her mother had died and that members of her family wanted to give the painting in memory of their mother. Since we are the oldest museum of American art in the United States, we were really thrilled. The museum has wanted to acquire a portrait of George Washington for many years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as it went on display, it became the subject of a great debate: Should it be at an American art museum? Is it an American work of art? The truth is that it\u2019s a copy of a Stuart made by a Chinese artist for an American collector. It\u2019s a compelling story. It was painted 200 years ago, and 200 years later we\u2019re dealing with the same issues. There are still works being pirated in China today\u2014movies, books, CDs.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
