Postmodern artists engage in the practice of appropriation, or an artistic recycling of existing objects or images. Sherrie Levine is an artist who created a number of "after" works, restating images made originally by such artists as Constantin Brancusi, Man Ray, and the photographer Walker Evans. In music, appropriation is at the heart of sampling-taking bits of music from prerecorded songs and giving them new meaning by placing them in a new context.
