peer agreement (net): +2Art imitates life Explanation: You're right, everything I come up with Abbild/Vorbild sounds painfully trivial. Since it's not crucial information, how about getting more creative, i.e. "art" (the limited edition of prints) imitating "life" (the original)? This is kind of a nice stock phrase that would work well as a photo caption. |
