some call it thievery, some call it appropriation, some call it intellectual property theft, some call it dishonesty, some call it unimaginative, some call it fraud......some call it mass production....???? but really what is it???
Andy made most of his money through commissions! !Warhol's silkscreen portraits of Hollywood "royalty" is what paid for everything else he did, including movies, his magazine and other projects. Andy wasn't concerned about whether critics thought his work was "good" like other artists he wanted people to enjoy it! He was a PoP artist who made work for the "populace"!
It's strange, I come to read his 'words aloud ', and it gives me a feeling like it wasn't him. It's all his deadpanned attitude. But some quotes show his wits, they are funny
@PUSH\Thanks, I was about to say something similar but I'm not that familiar with the technique! Critics who don't look down on Warhol's point out that he was a great draftsman as can be seen in his illustration work, which doesn't get enough attention. At one point, I was once a Warhol "attacker' but that was before I went to a major retrospective of his work and heard stories about what a workaholic that guy was before he was shot; after which he had to rely more on help from his assistants!
