“My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat - or in film's case 'run on' - manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.” ― Andy Warhol
It's also worth mentioning that Warhol's star was very much on the wane when he died (at just 58 years old!) in the 80s. He was considered very passe at that time. Also, his later works like the "shadow paintings" were dismissed. So it wasn't just his soup can paintings that were initially rejected. Ironically, as popular as he was--and is now--much of his artwork throughout his career was marked by indifference and rejection.
Hi Julian, absolutely. The criticism and doubts were never silenced completely. Glad to hear you know his shadow paintings! I am intrigued by this series of works and how it fits into his story and practice. Visually they are striking, of course.
I mainly am deepening on Richard Pettibone, who used also some of Warhol's works mixing it with others of his contemporaries. I push you to consider to study him a little as well if you might not know him too much. Otherwise would be good nonetherless
Imagine if one of those "climate activitists" ended up throwing a can of soup into a replica of Warhol's soup can artwork. That would make for some interesting performance art.
A good starting point, but the "save our planet" message is too consensual for action art. I'd rather see the performance as a statement a young artist could make to symbolize the need to escape from the shadow of Warhol as a father figure to reach personal autonomy. As such, the performance you suggest should be interpreted as both a tribute to Warhol ("I owe you everyting") and a rite of passage to artistic autonomy. The color of the soup - red - symbolizes the blood shedding that such rites always require across cultures. Though it's easy to only see the destruction, the hommage is undisputable, considering that throwing a can of soup on a Warhol piece can only produce the 15 minutes of fame we're all entitled to according to Warhol himself. The title of the piece, "Just Another Can of Soup", leaves no doubt as to the inferior position the artist assumes by performing a geste that looks as desparate than futile, like all sacrifices humans have made to their Gods since time immemorial.
@@borisbadinoff1291 the performance art i was envisioning was more focused around the irony (I don't know if this is the correct term to use) of the act of throwing the soup can at an artwork depicting a soup can. The "climate activist" i mentioned was just a way for people to better imagine what it may be like. I apologize for the confusion i may have caused. However, your idea of what the performance art should be about is more interesting.

Wonderful quote, thanks for sharing!

Like him or not he mirrored the times. In so many ways proceeded what's now our times.
That is absolutely spot on! Thank you for tuning in
I was wondering about copyright issues and I looked it up...very interesting
He's my favorite. I wish I knew his method of creating art on such big canvases
He uses a combination of silkscreen printing and painterly interventions on top of the printed image. Great works indeed!
First, you'll need to fabricate your own silk-screening device. Then you need to get good at using it.
Enjoyed the vid. I love Warhol's art. Even his quotes are like little works of art. He's still as controversial many years after leaving the stage.
Dear Iain, thank you for tuning in. Absolutely, a true personality-and all that comes with it, including controversy. Have a great day!
Thank u for sharing😍😍😍
The pleasure is all mine, thank you for tuning in!

Excellent suggestion, thanks Filippo! Have great day
Good stuff. Keep it coming.
Thank you, Boris. Will do!
@@contemporaryartissuehey you promised to keep it coming
I like your video so much. Thank you.
The pleasure is all mine, thank you for tuning in!
Awesome! I love his works about crashed car accidentes as well. ✌🏻
Absolutely! Thank you for tuning in!
Amazing!
Thank you for tuning in!
Awesome.
🙌
Warhol foreshadowed the Paris Hilton concept…famous for being famous, or in Warhol’s case…art because it became art.

The best!
repetition of consumer goods - like his artwork
One of the best! Thank you for tuning in
