Andy Warhol (1928-1987)

Andy Warhol(a) Self Portrait

Bil je eden izmed 'ustanoviteljev' umetniškega gibanja imenovanega Pop Art in verjetno tudi najbolj znan. Študiral je umetnost, znan pa je predvsem po montažah in sicer med bolj znanimi so pločevinke juh Campbell ter slike Marilyn Monroe.



Iz vsakdanjih stvari, stvari ki so bile za ljudi popolnoma banalne in so jih bili vajeni, ker so jih v vsakdanjem življenju videvali spet in spet je naredil stvar ironično, ublažil je osebni simbolizem in 'slikarsko ohlapnost' abstraktnega ekspresionizma. Tako je naredil stvar zanimivo na pogled in umetnost oglaševanja je bila ponovno učinkovita.

Nekaj Warholovih izjav :)



What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, 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 Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.
