Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol Edit

(1928-1987, United States)   |   |   |   |   | 

( fr ) Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987), was an American artist, avant-garde filmmaker, writer and social figure. Warhol also worked as a (magazine) publisher, music producer and actor. With his background and experience in commercial art, Warhol was one of the founders of the Pop Art movement in the United States in the 1950s. Warhol is best known for his extremely simple, larger-than-life, high-contrast color paintings (silk-screen prints) of packaged consumer products, everyday objects - such as Campbell's Soup, poppy flowers and the banana appearing on the cover of the rock music album The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967) - and for his stylized portraits of twentieth century celebrity icons - such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Elizabeth Taylor.

Andy Warhol the computer geek
This video, and the interview re-published at artnode, seem like more proof that the brilliance of the artist is often quite distant from the brilliance of the onlooker. Surrounded by modern technology, he might, in retrospect, appear like a child enjoying his toys. Especially in the interview, it seems like it's the journalist who has all these great ideas, and Warhol just happily agrees with wha [Read more]

Inspired by a true story reported at the time in newspapers around the world, author-illustrator Lisa Judge recalls how a group of kids ran a fund drive over two months in 1914 to raise the $6,000 necessary to buy three soon-to-be-orphaned trained elephants for the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston. Getting contributions from more than 50,000 people -- with pennies gratefully accepted -- the children celebrated their accomplishment with a grand parade through the city that included a gala reception fo [Read more]

Palin Theories
The word most used to describe Palin's press conference yesterday was breathless. She sped through her little speech like a student with too much Adderal in her system. Last night at a dinner party the theories ranged between two poles. On one side was the thought that the emails about to come out in one of the corruption lawsuits would be truly embarrassing. On the other pole is the theory that her speakers agent has told her how much money she could earn in the next 18 months if she wasn't t [Read more]

Review: Daniel Ruanova at Couturier Gallery
On first glance, the four paintings, four sculptures and two drawings in Daniel Ruanova?s second solo show in L.A., ?Fear Is God,? are about as ambiguous as razor-wire fences: Each screams its often foulmouthed message so loudly and clearly that listening closely seems to be beside the point.But there?s more than that to the self-taught, Tijuana-born and -based artist?s exhibition at the Couturier Gallery. Regardless of whether the claim made by the title is true, the devil is in the details an [Read more]

Over at IFC, Matt Singer takes the opportunity to consider movies about obsessive fans. “Traditional obsessive fan movies grow out of a subcategory of thrillers involving stalkers,” he writes, “Where an innocent invites a seemingly harmless person into their life, never suspecting their new friend or lover is a deranged, homicidal maniac until it's far too late. He focuses in on “Play Misty For Me,” “Misery,” of course Scorsese's “The King of Comed [Read more]

Gautier describes mainly female personages through bronze sculptures. The French artist makes the bodies very round, perceptibly fertile but light in form because she likes to rep [Read more]

Since today is the Fourth of July it’s only natural to think of the US. And, while it may not be the first place you go to for cutting-edge creativity or a centuries-long tradition of craftsmanship, it has certainly produced some design icons.Take, for example, the Campbell’s soup can – although, if Andy Warhol hadn’t done so, it would probably have ended up as just another ho-hum package design, which a series of “updates” would only have made more bland.
