Andy Warhol

AP Studio device 28 September 2013 Revolutionized Artist Andy Warhol was an Ameri push aside guileist during the sassing and was a leading figure in dada guile. He was an dodgeist that revolutionized smart set with his art during that era. His art encompassed umpteen forms of media including hand outline, house painting, photography and music. Andy Warhol became the symbol of a movement which made the arts easily available to and understandable for the domain, thereby causing a change in the acculturation of America during the asss and asss. Acknowledging all of these factual evidence, it is unquestionable that any 1 would disagree upon Andy Warhol being an artist.Through his series with special K reachs, celebrities and close, Warhol teaches us that draw close images have a lot to say about pop culture. By exploring and learning more about the artist who opened so gentlemany doors in the art world, one can see wherefore ciphering at the surface of his body of wh ole kit and boodle often meant seeing and try so much more about the society in which we live. When considering the sustenance and acidulates of Andy Warhol, one topic is agreed upon for good or bad, he changed the visual anatomical structure of the world we live in. By the time of his death in 1987 he was ranked on the analogous level with Pablo Picasso and JacksonPollock as one of the three or so important artists of this century. He was a working man, a social climber, a person who analogousd to build things, an merchant bank of goods, and a known homosexual. These attributes all contributed to the interesting and complicated nature of his art. Ands aspiration was to get us to look at the art that is all approximately us. For model, Campbell Tomato Soup (1962). Whorls Campbell dope cans are arguably some of his more or less historied works. Warhol destinyed us to look at the simple image of the can for what it represented to our culture.He challenged old assigned critics to overcome their ideas of art as complex and incomprehensible by using simple, common images. Whorls selection of the soup can may be the most important part of the work he did with them. He wanted to display his view of America and to him consume Campbell soup represented being American. Andy makes up art with the common tomato soup we see at the grocery store. Andy Warhol is telling us that good, bad, or very(prenominal) bad, there is art everywhere and we labor it for granted. Looking at his photos authentically makes us fell ignorant to art making us think, How could I miss that? Leaving us with guilt and having no effrontery to being artists. Although Andy was identified with garbage down art and credited with its invention, this is a misapprehension of his seminal ability. wipe out is much more complicated than it seems. In creating Pop art, one must create memorable images and awareness of the unpredictable forces in nature and society in whole. It is not simply the portrayal of popular icons but more of an expression of all that is familiar and accepted American society. Pop art also contains a serious sub- core that is not seeming at first sight.Warhol has many known works spanning across transparent mediums, but arguably his most important works were his silkscreen found on photography and his revolutionary usage of the popular media as an artistic medium in it ego which he created by his carefully controlled public persona. Andy Warhol produced works that defied the popular notion of what art should be. Whorls works were meant to be taken at face value, for nothing more than what they portrayed on the surface. While he stressed this superficial attitude about his art, his works were often the cause of debate and influenced public opinion like no other heathen figure inNorth America. Andy Warhol influenced and still influences many modern artists. He was influential not only with the unusual images he created, but also t hrough his extensively publicized lifestyle and attitude. He rede ticketd the role of the artist as a public persona, like a rock star. He was able to demand the ordinary. After Warhol, art is no longer seen as exclusively laid-back art. Glorifying Campbell Soup cans and Coke bottles was a fundamentally democratic gesture. Andy Warhol was a heavy(p) artist who made art accessible for many.The popularity of contemporary art directly is to mom extent due to his achievements and I believe that most importantly Warhol taught us that the artist is in reality, the art. Despite of popular belief, the tomato soup pictures were not his ideas Andy needed new ideas to help boost his creativity. He got some(prenominal) ideas from a woman named Muriel Lotto a gallery owner he knew. She advised him to paint what he loved most (like money) or what everybody would cognise (soup cans and coke bottles). Andy expanded on these ideas and his paintings of the early asss reflected his progress as a Pop artist.He finally gained the financial success and international AMA he had longed for. This proves that art is not an idea, it is how you exemplify that idea to be original and creative. I harness it simple at first glance but the majority of his work has quite a vast and deep meaning to it once the viewer takes a moment to really look at it for example the famous boxes of Brills pads (1968) , as first glance it is a well taken and kinky image of a pretty mundane item, however with artistic digest and deeper thought the ideas of mortification and consumerism seep through the image.Warhol also creates photograph collages and screen-prints of his self-portrait inwardly his portfolio. This is a postmodern artistic medium as instead of allowing the media and public to create an opinion of him, he is taking that license and liberty a musical mode(predicate) from them by creating these images himself, as if to force-feed the media before they get a adventure to create a per- conceived opinion. He wanted to portray a creative image of himself, which stands out from everyone else and he certainly has achieved this in mellow (1968) self-portrait.Andy Warhol brought forward societys arrested development with mass culture and allowed it to become the playing area of art itself. Using many techniques such as isolation, repetition and color placement, Warhol brought o the world of art his views on materialism, politics, economics and the media. Some heap dispute that Whorls work isnt original, and it isnt very creating anything new and that it is simply cheating and copying the basics of an already famous image.In contrast, others believe that he is indeed creating a new work of art as it is taking handed-down high art and c temporary removal the message of it in to something modern. Warhol appreciated and admired the original and did not intend to take credit for this creation, he was simply expressing his artistic license to enhance the ark further and in his own way. Ironically, Andy Warhol, a man who fantasized about simply vanishing upon death, a man who expressed so much desire to become a machine, became amortized through the media.Andy Whorls choice of visual technologies ultimately allowed him to convey the ideas of fame and repetition through genuine example. Warhol even turned his life as a whole into a musing on fame, mass- overlapion and the culture of 20th century America. In the end, it is ironical that the very man who coined the phrase 1 5 minutes of fame, true so much more than his share.Andy warholMaria Virgins Art Fundamentals Andy Warhol innate(p) Andrew Warhol on August 6, 1928 in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Andy Whorls parents were Slovakian immigrants. His father, Indore Warhol, was a construction worker and his arrive, Julia Warhol, was an embroiderer. They were devout Catholics who attended mass regularly, and maintained much of their Slovakian culture and heritage. At the age of 8, Warhol was diagnosed with Chorea a rare and some measure fatal disease of the nervous system that leftfield him sick for several(prenominal) months.It was during these months, while Warhol was sick in bed, that his mother, herself a skillful artist, gave him his first wedgeing lessons. He passed away on February 22, 1987. Warhol attended Holmes Elementary school and took the rationalize art classes offered at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. Warhol began at Sciences High School, and upon graduating, in 1945, he enrolled at the Carnegie Institute for Technology to study pictorial design. When he graduated with his bachelors in art he moved to new York. s portrait untitled from Marilyn Monroe is basically that a picture of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn is an example of the lucky evolution of Whorls goal of erasing signs of the artists hand from the production process. brills boxesWarhol presented the viewer with have replicas of commonly used products found in homes and supermarkets. sel f portraitWhorls self portraits that he created throughout his career reveal an underlying theme of performance. By using repetitive images, each slightly different to the next, Warhol produces the illusion of movement.Andy Warhol was a strange man and that was his gift that brought us a new way of looking at the things, people, the world. He took ordinary things that we were so used to that we didnt really notice them and from his unusual perspective made them new and interesting and art. His mother influenced him to become an artist because when he contracted his condition she was the one who taught him how to draw when he was bed sick. The first painting of Marilyn Monroe, made me experience like it was true about how when she first had passed away everyone was devastated.They cried they were sad. He was very successful communicating his message. The second painting of Brills Boxes, it honestly Just looks like carriages. Its tight and I dont know why supermarkets would ever hav e them. He did stick with delivering his message. The last painting of himself, his self portrait was kind of creepy. He may think of himself in a different way but in my perspective I didnt like that paintingAndy WarholWhorls Flowers, 1967, silkscreen on man-made polymer paint on canvas, is include in the exhibition. Flowers were quite an inspiration for Warhol time and again. Flowers in art and culture have been ubiquitous since the beginning of record art history, says Smith. The floral theme wasnt any more exhausted when Warhol was doing it than when 17th-century Dutch painters or the Impressionists were. only Warhol was sly he was always playing with traditional art historical themes (Frey). Andy Warhol, 1925-1987, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker.Warhol is famous for art that defied all standardized definitions of art. He was well known for mass-producing the hallmarks of his work. He called his studio The Factory and insisted on the appropriateness of ot hers producing his work, for which he used mainly photographs, often news photographs, which he printed in multiples by the silk screening process. Silk screening is a method of picture on a porous fabric, the portion of the design to be reproduced is left unblocked on the screen than the screen is placed above the surface to be printed on, than the paint, or dye, is forced through the screen.Warhol appropriated most of his images and repeated these images numerous times Warhol had a fascination with repetition, perhaps created by our compulsion to find an exception or rogue element in the composition. Warhol was relentlessly detached, cool, and superficial If you want to know all about Andy Warhol Just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There is nothing behind it, he express (Frazier 709). The reason Im painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.I like windy things. I like things to be hardly the selfsame(prenominal) over and over again. Eve been quoted a lot as saying, l like boring things. Well, I said it and I meant it. But that doesnt mean Im not bored by them. Of course, what I think is boring must not be the same as what other people think is, since I could never stand to watch all the most popular action shows on TV, because theyre basically the same plots and the same shots and the same cuts over and over again. Apparently, most people love watching the same basic thing, as long as the details are different.But Im Just the opposite if Im going to sit ND watch the same thing I saw the night before, I dont want it to be essentially the same?I want it to be exactly the same. Because the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel (Stiles 340). Andy Warhol had a legendary and lucrative artistic career from the early sass through 1986 some early key works are included in landm ark series such as Campbell Soup, Marilyn, Jackie, Mao, Elvis, Flowers, Disaster, and Self-portraits.Flowers is considered to be one of Whorls most significant of his later works. Employing mass-production techniques to create works, Warhol erased traditional distinctions between fine art and popular culture, subtly blurring the boundaries of mass art and high culture with his striking appropriations. His choice of subjects tapped into important themes power, fame, and tragedy. With an unerring eye for iconic images, from common objects to celebrities and disasters, Warhol produced a lasting oeuvre that captured the essence of American culture (Traditional o.k. Art Online).Warhol believed in painting everyday boring objects, but what do boring objects eve to do with Pop Art? Roy Liechtenstein was once asked what Pop Art was, the use of commercial art as a subject matter in painting, I suppose. It was hard to get a painting that was despicable enough so that no one would hang it?eve rybody was hanging everything. It was almost acceptable to hang a dripping paint rag, everybody was alter to this. The one thing everyone hated was commercial art apparently they didnt hate that enough either (Stiles 337). For example, Coke was one of these objects that Warhol produced quite a bit.Coke is something that very American can relate too, and this is what made Warhol enjoy painting the product so much. Whats great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers obtain essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and Just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz
