I hope new artists get to contribute new takes on old ideas, instead of being reduced to highly talented imitation and clone manufacturers.

I hope they don't. Having seen the jarring modern takes on stained glass inserted anachronistically into old church settings, I have little faith that 'new takes' are able to blend into old surroundings.
There is beauty in reconstruction, and calling it 'fake' misses the point.
