There are twelve ‘shapes’ inside the border of the Matisse, only eleven in the rip-off.

Oops! I am mistaken! After downloading both pictures and comparing them side-by-side, the NEA version is an obvious effort to try and use the Matisse as a pattern for a ripoff.

"There are twelve ‘shapes’ inside the border of the Matisse, only eleven in the rip-off."

A copy of the original does not have to be an exact duplicate of the original artist's work.

It should, however not be renamed & signed by the copying artist - which would imply that it is the copy artist's original work.

If it is properly signed by the copy artist, identifying the original artist - there is nothing wrong with doing that.
