Pixxxellated

Rebecca Tushnet writes about artist Adam Connelly, who, as she puts it, "paints pictures of pornographic images, pixellated so that it's our minds, not the paint, providing the salacious details." Does he have a good fair use defense to his use of the underlying images? "It's pretty clear that he would, given the change in meaning and the change in quality of reproduction."
