You’ve heard his name. You’ve seen the Campbell’s Soup cans. You might know something about The Factory. But perhaps you’ve wondered why Andy Warhol gets so much attention or why his work even matters. What’s the deal with Warhol, and is he worth your time and consideration? Here’s your answer.
Stay tuned for cases for other artists, living and dead!

And image " repetisjon"
Like him or dislike him, Warhol's influence is undeniable. People are still trying to draw lines between art and business, when Warhol showed us decades ago that the line is easily erased and can be redrawn or removed entirely.
Stephen Persing Warhol didn't erase the line between art and business. He was totally dedicated to business. Art was merely an easily mass-produced commodity. Art critics have been totally duped.
Howard Wiggins Wrong.
+Choi Min Right.
Stephen Persing Gay Power!
Who cares about art vs business? He is full of himself. This may be “art” but it has no value. Which in some peoples eyes make it not art. And art is a subjective thing so this argument is irrelevant to have considering there’s no right or wrong or real truth to the whole equation
"By laying bear the relationship between commerce and art, Warhol nullified the very idea of a sellout." - great line!
It's interesting how so many people find "work for hire" in art a difficult concept to accept - especially when it's such an old practice and totally acceptable in most other fields. Perhaps people seem to think Art should be an individual pursuit. Yet in reality art is often collaborative, interpersonal, and often driven by large groups of people.
ARTiculations No one says art can't be collaborative. And yes, an artist should make money for his work. But LOOK at Warhol's products. Garish colors. Cartoonish. A total lack of nuance. Mass-produced ugliness. Life is ugly enough. Why mass-produce ugliness? Only the rich and privileged think this is artistic.
Howard Wiggins Wrong. More than the rich and privileged love his work. Maybe you don't, but you are not everyone. HIs legacy will live much longer than you do.
+Howard Wiggins You are defining art extremely narrowly as anything beautiful that requires skill. It's ok to dislike Warhol's work, but I think you are misunderstanding the 20th century when you use such a definition for art. Just dislike it. It's really ok to do so.
@@nnnnnn95what a shitty thing to say
@@howtubeableI guess the idea behind mass production is that he makes his own peripheral goods
I’m just here because I have to do work on him for my online class
same lol
same LMAO
Same bro 😭
@@malofriant1903 sameeeeee
The style and tone of this video suits Warhol quite well :)
You should be doing videos like this in an art/artists CrashCourse series. Like the World History 2 series where it jumps around both chronologically and in scale instead of a 'History of Art' type show. Schools, periods, individuals and even single pieces could be topics. Great episode!
i mean i consider THIS as the art crashcourse, because both are run by complexly, informative, and really good videos. sure, she would get WAY more views (and money) on crashcourse but still
Jay Dot same company, John green hosts some earlier videos
@@kevinkim2651 i know
Tg
This type of art education is so SO important for everyone to understand and to not alienate artists as "others" of common knowledge and empathy. Thank you for creating these videos!
Keep making more of these videos!
If you're looking to write down some things about Any for an assignment...I got ya'll covered:
Gained artistic experience from drawing with his mother in youth.
Changed his name to Andy Warhol
His art is a commentary on post-war american culture
Formed Andy Warhol Enterprises in 1957
Worked later in career on almost exclusively portraits
He was an artist, band manager, magazine publisher, film director, and TV producer
The ultimate influencer, damn. Wonder how he would have felt about instagram
probably woud've had a ton of followers
maybe a ton or maybe none
You wouldn't truly appreciate Art without the story of the artist.
that's so true
I'm really digg'n these "The Case For.." videos! A Jay-Z reference, I love you.
JAY Z IS SHIT..
Interesting connection: I remember reading that Warhol's films can be seen as a celebration of boredom, almost a meditation on it. Some three hundred years before, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote his Goldberg Variations, which were written as a cure for Count Kaiserling's insomnia. The idea being, that Bach could take something so boring as to make one fall asleep, and yet turn it into great art. I guess boredom isn't something to be feared!
David Shi Not to forget that boredom creates invention :)
This was great. I'd love to see more like it, especially with a wide variety of artists!
I wish Andy Warhol were wrong. I really do. But he wasn't.
Dammit.
(More of this kind of thing, please!)
LOL... love your comment.... it also makes me realize, Industrial Devolution is real... and Andy just happened to make art out of it.
Love this style of making videos for The Art Assignment! Great content and very well done! I like learning about art.
I REALLY like this type of video!
So this is what art history feels like.
You are doing such a great job with this channel!
As a long time viewer, but yet to be participant of the Art Assignment, I must say that I really adore this channel. This video embodies your ability to communicate key turning points in art history in an accessible format for the general public. Thank you for hosting this channel and bringing art to the masses. :)
This is a very well put together (and fun to watch) way to specifically explain different artists. I would invest in making more of these, they are fantastic.
I like this kind of videos! MOOOREEE! (Please, please make more)
His work makes me twitchy. Intellectually I can pin it down - it's damned uncomfortable to realize how our lives are entangled in a kind of machinery that we can't control and often can't even see clearly. It's uncomfortable to contemplate ourselves as cogs in the machine, as objects to be bought and sold. It doesn't change the facts of the world to contemplate that, either, and so it can make a person feel really, really helpless. And if you're already struggling with depression it's a serious problem to let yourself get dragged too far into such contemplation.
Important, definitely - but like sandpaper on a sunburn for some. Or maybe just me, but that's okay.
Sonja Johnson dame I respect Warhol, but his art feels rather bleak and hopeless.
Love it! I'd love to see you make the case for one of the 'classic' modern dancers like Martha Graham, Isadora Duncan or Merce Cunningham. Keep them coming!
Very well put. I'm not a personal fan of his art, it's not a style I'm all to interested in, but it goes without saying that he had a huge impact. His ideals made sense and his pictures made profit. I don't think he was as much a painter as he was an innovator, and I wouldn't really say he was a genius, but his art is still impressive and worthwhile. Very good video, timed very well.
Don't forget that his lifestyle and persona was also a work of art.
Slow down! Let us think about what you are saying for half a second.
Louis Klieger Haha. Love this sentiment. Will take it to heart. In the meantime, press pause? Watch it twice?
That's exactly what I have to do! You create such great content, thank you!
Louis Klieger I paused it many times. And that's okay
I'm watching it at 0.75 speed. It's much better.
there's a pause button.
Andy had an awesome life. I did my final English research paper on him and made mini coloring books to hand out and I got a perfect score on it. I really like these types of videos.
If this is a new segment on The Art Assignment... hear hear! Can't wait to see more.
Very nice format for videos guys! I think it could become a very welcome series for the channel.
He's one of my favorite artists. He's so interesting.
Brilliant film. I'm studying Printmaking (specialising in Screen Printing) at the Royal College of Art and Warhol has been a huge influence not just for me, but the whole Screen Printing community around the world. It's interesting how some people look at Warhol's work at face value and are unable to comprehend the underlying strong message in his work, it goes over peoples heads, mostly because of peoples narrow and closed-minded views about what is and isn't art based on silly and poorly thought out arguments.
Cool! I've seen a lot of Warhol's work, but never realized who did them. Now I know way more than I could have hoped for! As someone who can't draw to save my life, I deeply appreciate this channel allowing me to gain an appreciation for art without having to humiliate myself in an art class (an opportunity not available for me at my high school). Thank you PBS and Yeti!
So all my life I've been under the assumption that Andy Warhol painted those pictures and he's one of my main inspirations to this day, but my brother told me earlier today that he just used colored filters. Was Warhol a tracer or were those pieces hand-painted?
Like this summary
Awesome, informative video! I've been very interested in learning about who Andy Warhol was so this was very timely for me. I love the idea of this series and can't wait for more!
Very CGP Grey. (I mean that, of course, as a massive compliment.)
One of the great of things about this channel is that it takes me over 20 minutes to watch an almost 4 minute long video, because I always pause to look at the pictures more closely, and then also rewatch the video at least 3 times.
It's worth
You left out Andy Warhol religious paintings. Religion was a big part of his life and work
andrew olson You are very correct! There are so many interesting aspects of Warhol's work, and I hated leaving out so much. 4 minutes is insufficient.
+The Art Assignment we'd love to hear all of it! I would love a part 2 or an entire comprehensive series tbh (:
No mention of his obsessive collection of art, of all kinds, his Park Ave. home could just barely he entered.
Yes porn movies🤡 a very real devotion today.
Oo! I love this biographical style of video! Pleeeaase continue this. :)
So well said. I am still waiting for my fifteen minutes of fame.
Start a CZcams channel vlogging your ambition to be famous.
What a great video! I knew a bit about Warhol but I didn't know that he was such an astute businessman.
Thank you Sarah!!! I've just watched several of your videos. You are a brilliant and insightful writer. I deeply appreciate your efforts in putting humanity back into the art world.
Like most of the other comments are saying this type of video is great. Please make more of them.
I like this snip it of a video going in depth about an artist. This helps identify with the artist better! Love it! Thanks!
For anyone who wants to see more a bit more of Warhol in a relaxed and entertaining state of mind (like this video): check out the movie "Factory Girl" where Sienna Miller stars as Edie Sedgwick, his muse and gorgeous right hand
Really like these kinds of educational videos!
There's a lot of heady (and I think false) analysis of Warhol and his work out there, but I think your particular analysis hit closer to the mark than any of them. Thanks for this video! :-)
In 2019, it’s strange that he’s still considered a major figure.
This video could just as easily be called "The case against Andy Warhol". (BTW, I just discovered this channel, think it's great, subscribed.)
i'd really like to see a vid on keith haring, staying with the pop art theme
Im student teaching in a high school art class, I'd love to show this this video to my printmaking class but I think the pacing and academic language is going to stress my students out a bit! I hope the future of the art assignment goes more towards the vein of crash course, which I find more accessible for younger audiences.
Great video, hope to see more like it. There's a lot more to fine art than meets the eyes, especially for post-modern and contemporary art, so videos like this can go a long way in helping people understand why an artist is seen as so important beyond just the aesthetics of their artwork.
Please keep making these!
I love love love this video. This is a really great way to introduce your audience to new (or new-to-them) artists! I hope to see more.
Ooh, I really like this style of video. I'd love to see more of them for other artists.
Wow I hope I still have these but I remember buying a case of Campbell soup can kites
I love this!! Please continue with educational content along with the assignments!!
Crushed it! I learned a lot about his biography.his work is so much clearer now!
I love Andy Warhol. He was also Catholic, and has many religious works.
Awesome!!! Can we please have Ai Weiwei?
The way he dealt with people and death as commodity (celebrity and the news) makes him one of my very favorite artists. He sacrificed himself at the alter of consumerism and fame to make so many insightful points.
He's incredible.
I never thought about it that way. Thanks for sharing.
+Ian Reed Insightful points like what? I really don't know anything about Warhol, but this video piqued my interest enough to want to look into him further. Can you refer me to places? (apart from like, Wikipedia)?
This was so informative! I was privileged to see the soup can collection at the High Museum in Atlanta a few years ago. I hope you do more of these little lessons!
Insightful video!
I love the Detroit photograph at the end, but it being my city, I'm biased. 😊
I’ve really enjoyed your The Case For videos!
You should do one on Banksy.
More videos like this please!!! Loved it
ok so i would absolutely love to see more of these videos! in fact, if it means you can talk about stuff in more depth i'd also totally watch stuff thats a bit longer, like 10-15 minutes
This type of video is great! I really want to be able to appreciate contemporary art better when I visit museums.
I LOVED this video and would love to see more like it on this channel! Though I already really like all the videos on this channel anyway, so either way I'm happy! hahaha
theartassignment you guys do a great job of educating us when museums aren't enough
Yes! More art history, please! I'm quite fond of the avant-grade myself
This was so awesome and really well done. Can't wait for more! Please make one for Jackson Pollock?
At the end he took a huge dump on everyone and he got away with it. To understand Warhol you need to be
Deeply superficial; not just superficial.
if you'll make more of these kind of videos I'd be very excited to see Cindy Sherman! Great video :D
These "Case For" videos are fantastic. Please make more! :)
This is fantastic, really, really fantastic!
So cool. Please keep making more videos about artist like this!!
Amazingly edited. Well done, I'd love to see more of this kind of videos :)
I absolutely loved the video but i wish it was just slightly slower so i could catch a mental breath between the topics
Nice, love the style
just because you make the connection between capitalism/commercialism and art doesn't mean he makes a statement about it. He just takes advantage of the system already in place and mass produces objects as his brand. Art is a conversation and the only thing he had to say is "value" and "buy!"
anyone else from pittsburgh? i've been to the warhol museum several times, it's a neat place
downrighthorizontal--Are there other museum's u might recommend to visit in Pitt? I'm planning a summer trip to the steel city!! Mainly to see Warhol's museum. is it a crowded place to visit?
Ooh, I really dig this kind of video. Y'all should do more on other artists!
Very edifying. I didn't know any of this. Excellent.
It's about time I learned something about him other than that '71 David Bowie song.
Make more of these videos!!!
It’s strange how they say Warhol is a sell out but the Velvet Underground are punk/alternative pioneers.
Great video! I hope you make more of these!
This is wonderful - my new favorite segment here!
I love this style of video! Please make more of these :)
Ooo more of these art history videos please.
so basically he became a brand that America bought , the rich and poor, so thats why we are still interested in him
Loved it! You should do this more often The Art Assignment :)
"Warhol nullified the very idea of a sellout" but The Art Assignment brought it back to life.
Awesome video, I hope there is going to be more more in this style
I really enjoy these videos! would be great video for an art teacher to show to their class.
This was very interesting, make more of these!!
There's a wonderful museum in Pittsburgh devoted to Warhol. If you can visit by all means do so....
Very interesting! Keep up this format!
i hve to watch for school
Please do videos about art movement like Art Deco, Cubism, Minimalism, and so on..
