Genius and Contemplation

As has been previously discussed, Kant distinguishes between 'following' Genius, i. e. producing another original work, from 'imitating' it, i. e. merely copying some of its features.  Elsewhere than in the context of drawing that distinction, he proposes a third possible reaction to a work of Genius--the contemplation of it, a "restful" response, as he characterizes it at #24 of the 3rd Critique.  Now, it is this latter reaction that is paradigmatic according to his theory, one problematic implication, therefore, of which is that being inspired by a work of Genius to produce another such work is a relatively inappropriate response to it.
