pastiche (păstēsh`, pä–), work of art that combines themes and styles from various sources in such a way as to appear obviously derivative. Pastiches are frequently passed off as works by the artists from whom the motifs and figures were taken. |

Rather than trying to predict or outrun history, and rather than pastiching or "critiquing" history, such work takes historical precedents and techniques more or less in stride and uses them to a particular purpose. Everywhere we look we see artists borrowing, pastiching, reworking--from the straight rip-off to the ironic theft, to the subtle incorporation of a lifted image, to an under-the-breath whistle from another artist's signature tune. When Picasso is critical of Matisse, for whatever reason, he often has a pastiching tendency. |
