I couldn't have said it better myself. Pretty much all of art relies on inspiration and "inspiration". Pending few possible cases (I've yet to see) where actual art is lifted and pasted, all I've seen so far (firsthand even) is style lifting and even that not fully. Is style copyrightable?

Some very famous paintings it can almost reproduce, like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. It can’t get it quite right but I think it’s close enough to be considered copying. So there might be a copyrighted instance of that, but I haven’t seen one yet.
