I just thought this was interesting:

Ha Qiongwen, 1963
American imperialism must be driven out of Southern Vietnam!

(Offset, 107x77x cm., inv.nr. BG G1/867)

And the reasons why it's probably not ok:

nice find! i havent seen that reference before. it's no surprise that shepard appropriated the molotov man image from a chinese propaganda poster. in fact, a lot of his stuff is appropriated and it is widely known among die-hard collectors. copyright infringement? well, i'm no lawyer but he obviously didn't take the original and re-print it as-is. he likely traced the image and then re-worked it into his own piece.

Agreed.

I wonder if anyone has tried to sue Shep for the use of images. Just a thought.

Yeah, the plastic water bottle isn't very practical for m-cocktails. That said, Wicked-Smot find.

Nah, that one has been altered more than enough as not too infringe any copyrights. If you want to make the 'all his work is stolen' point again there are much better examples around.
