parody art
Satirical visual tribute
Parody art imitates another work or style to comic or critical effect, exaggerating distinctive features for humor or commentary.
It differs from pastiche, which imitates without mockery.
Parody has legal protection as transformative work: Weird Al's parody songs, the parody art of Banksy.
The line between parody and copyright infringement remains contested.
