The "Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images" exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art manages to both celebrate and betray fair use at the same time. These are canonical fair uses -- an artist who takes from another artist and uses his work to make new work. It's really out of our hands.
