To be fair, the piece makes no mention of both of the artists as 'origami artists'. The title depicts them as 'origami enthusiasts'. To be fair I initially had a bit of a problem with the description, but then I read the materials concerning Lang's claim and I will agree that the artist somewhat of a origami admirer (so the title is correct).
Though, I absolutely agree that at a minimum, permission and attribution would be polite. I can't imagine on what ground the painter thinks they are standing on, as the 'inspiration' is so overwhelmingly overt. But as an origami 'enthusiast' myself, I'll watch this with an interested and slightly sad eye.
