Jean Clair’s book, L'hiver de la culture, contains a chapter entitled La relique et la réplique. He uses the example of the facsimile of the Wedding at Cana as an example of a good, positive use of a copy that has resulted in something authentic (as opposed to the Parthenon Museum in Athens in which everything becomes faux).
He discusses the ‘authentic’ and ‘the inversion of the aura’ that is talking place and observes that these changes ‘oblige us to reconsider the dogmatism that has weighed on our sensibility and since romanticism- when we invented the superstition of the signature – proof of the inimitable hand and unique genius.
