Etching with collage // Them, Him by Liliana Porter, created in 2018, is a limited edition etching with collage that presents a whimsical, minimalist composition. The artwork features a sequence of small, simplified figures lined up horizontally, each identical except for one with a distinct red hat, setting it apart from the others. This subtle variation invites viewers to consider themes of individuality, conformity, and identity within a group. Porter’s use of blank space around the figures emphasizes the simplicity and humor in the piece, characteristic of her playful and thought-provoking style. Them, Him encourages reflection on the ways in which subtle differences define us within collective contexts.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
