“Then you can choose to take the high road, consider that imitation is a form of flattery so to speak and decide to not spend too much energy on the issue. Publicize your art as much as you can and make it sure serious buyers and art galleries know that your style is genuinely yours. Copycats usually get tired after a while: after all there is not much personal satisfaction in copying and they will often go from copying one artist to copying another. What they are copying is also something you did in the past, and because you are the creative force behind the art that is being copied, you often moved on to the next step in your art journey being always one step ahead. You own the creative tools, they are just replicating an end product.”

The phrase “Let art speak for itself” likely emerged from the broader philosophy that art should be experienced and interpreted directly by viewers, without requiring excessive explanation or commentary. It aligns with ideas from movements like Romanticism and Modernism, which emphasized the emotional, personal, or universal power of art.
Key Contexts for the Phrase:
1. Romanticism (18th-19th Century):
Romantic artists and thinkers believed in the innate ability of art to evoke emotions and connect directly to the human spirit, minimizing the need for verbal justification.
2. Modernism (late 19th-20th Century):
Modernist artists often rejected traditional rules and advocated for the autonomy of art. They believed that art could stand on its own without the constraints of narrative or explanation.
3. Art Criticism and Philosophy:
Thinkers like John Ruskin and Clement Greenberg contributed to the idea that art should be appreciated for its intrinsic qualities—form, texture, color—without relying heavily on external context.
