That's the thing with (human made) art - even something that's arguably "the same" is still a product of another person's effort and viewpoint, and will embody their personal approach to the same task as much as the original does of its artist. It's a personal story of effort and care, unique to any that attempt it.

For example, music covers. I keep an eye on the youtube channel of Triple J, a radio station that regularly has visiting musical guests perform covers of songs of their choice, and the different approaches to taking on another artist's music is so interesting. Some do more direct imitations that mirror the original, while others take radically different approaches that bring entirely new meaning. It's all great stuff.

If anyone here love short novels, random recommendation on the topic: Borges’ Pierre Menard, Author of Don Quixote

Where is the line between copying and inspiring? What is new art?
