Warhol was a no-talent perv the hollyweirdos admired just for being wierd
This picture (and most others) are examples of his lack of talent. - he took a photgraph and outlined it with magic marker as far as I can see
He made so-called ‘movies’ of people doing perverted things to animals
The less i hear of him the happier I will be
and his ‘15-minutes of fame’ comment is only mildly interesting in that it has become a useful metaphor ffor people just as bad as himself
......Warhol was a no-talent perv.....
You misunderstand the business. Art is for selling. The fact it is garbage is inconsequential. The important part is to find a fool to buy. That is what the New York art scene is all about, locating fools and selling them.
For art, go to Santa Fe or Gallup or Flagstaff
I'm unaware of Warhol making “animal” films. He didn't even run the camera on many of “his” films. Often they are quite boring (long extended shots, whether they were 3 minute “screen tests” or 8 hour clips of the empire state building). And then he teamed up with the Velvet Underground to publicly screen the films at concerts as a way to try to make some money with them.
And unlike many of the art world, he regularly attended church and served at their soup kitchen. He also let him mom live with him.
Sheperd Fairey, a newer artist, has ridden the same art world to deliver us the first “15 minutes of fame” pop star president (Barack Obama). It was Mr. Fairey who gave us many of the radical posters against Bush and then the iconic prObama posts. And you can bet your bottom tax dollat that his work now WILL be inshrined in the Smithsonian. HE is far worther of contempt.
