Book excerpt: More than any other artist, Andy Warhol had a knack for elevating the images and objects of ordinary life into artifacts of a collective consciousness. In the early 1980s Warhol produced a series of paintings separately depicting guns, knives, and as critic Robert Rosenblum notes in his introduction, such works reflected the dark side of Warhol's mirror of America: "while creating an inventory of...superstars and supermarket favorites, (Warhol) also compiled an anthology of the American way of death, from car crashes and race riots to the electric chair itself". Seen together the knives are hunting and seductive.

Download or read book The Religious Art of Andy Warhol written by Jane D. Dillenberger and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2001-02-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two images of Andy Warhol exist in the popular press: the Pope of Pop of the Sixties, and the partying, fright-wigged Andy of the Seventies. In the two years before he died, however, Warhol made over 100 paintings, drawings, and prints based on Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. The dramatic story of these works is told in this book for the first time. Revealed here is the part of Andy Warhol that he kept very secret: his lifelong church attendance and his personal piety. Art historian and curator Jane Daggett Dillenberger explores the sources and manifestations of Warhol's spiritual side, the manifestations of which are to be found in the celebrated paintings of the last decade of Warhol's life: his Skull paintings, the prints based on Renaissance religious artwork, the Cross paintings, and the large series based on The Last Supper.>

Download or read book Jackknife written by Jan Beatty and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jackknife: New and Selected Poems, Beatty travels the turns and collisions of over twenty years of work. She moves from first-person narratives to poems that straddle the page in fragments, to lines that sprawl with long lines of train tracks. Always landing in meaning, we are inside the body—not in a confessional voice, not autobiography—but arriving through the expanded, exploded image of many stories and genders. The new poems leap imagistically from the known world to the purely imagined, as in the voice in "Abortion with Gun Barrel": "I am the counselor,/there are cracks in the barrel of the gun/there is aiming/shots of sorrow—/ shots of light." Commitment to a rabid feminist voice continues, but arrival has a new ring to it, with beginnings rescripted: "I am a bastard./I walk around in this body of mine." Beatty's fascination with the highway and the breakout West jackknifes at the crossroads of the brutal and the white plains of loss—the body torn down and resurrected in the twenty first century.
Download or read book Andy Warhol written by Arthur C. Danto and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Astutely traces the ripple effects of Warhol’s blurring of the lines between commercial and fine art, and art and real life…masterful.”—Booklist (starred review) Art critic, philosopher, and winner of a National Book Critics Circle Award Arthur Danto delivers a compact, masterful tour of Andy Warhol’s personal, artistic, and philosophical transformations. Danto traces the evolution of the pop artist, including his early reception, relationships with artists such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, and the Factory phenomenon. He offers close readings of individual Warhol works, including their social context and philosophical dimensions, key differences with predecessors such as Marcel Duchamp, and parallels with successors like Jeff Koons. By drawing on subject matter understandable to the ordinary American, Warhol revolutionized the way we look at art. In this book, Danto brings to bear encyclopedic knowledge of Warhol’s time and shows us Warhol as an endlessly multidimensional figure—artist, political activist, filmmaker, writer, philosopher—who retains permanent residence in our national imagination.

Download or read book Andy Warhol written by Wayne Koestenbaum and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate depiction of the visionary who revolutionized the art world A man who created portraits of the rich and powerful, Andy Warhol was one of the most incendiary figures in American culture, a celebrity whose star shone as brightly as those of the Marilyns and Jackies whose likenesses brought him renown. Images of his silvery wig and glasses are as famous as his renderings of soup cans and Brillo boxes—controversial works that elevated commerce to high art. Warhol was an enigma: a partygoer who lived with his mother, an inarticulate man who was a great aphorist, an artist whose body of work sizzles with sexuality but who considered his own body to be a source of shame. In critic and poet Wayne Koestenbaum’s dazzling look at Warhol’s life, the author inspects the roots of Warhol’s aesthetic vision, including the pain that informs his greatness, and reveals the hidden sublimity of Warhol’s provocative films. By looking at many facets of the artist’s oeuvre—films, paintings, books, “Happenings”—Koestenbaum delivers a thought-provoking picture of pop art’s greatest icon.

Download or read book Andy Warhol s Timeboxes written by Andy Warhol and published by 24 Ore Cultura. This book was released on 2006 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Timeboxes o Time Capsules sono scatole di cartone, tutte di identico formato, in cui Andy Warhol, nel corso degli anni, letteralmente stipò qualunque cosa gli passasse per le mani e di cui, pur non avendone apparentemente necessità, intendeva conservare la memoria: un archivio gigantesco (più di seicento scatole, conservate nell&'Andy Warhol Museum di Pittsburgh), fatto non solo di corrispondenza e di pagine di giornale, ma degli oggetti più svariati. Tuttavia, &"inscatolare&" non significava per Warhol soltanto archiviare: molto spesso da questi stralci, da questi &"appunti di lavoro&" nascevano poi idee che, rielaborate, conducevano alla creazione di una nuova opera d&'arte. La mostra triestina, della quale già l&'allestimento scaturisce dall&'interpretazione delle Time Capsules come &"icone&" del processo creativo di Warhol, intende dunque proporre un&'ampia selezione della produzione dell&'artista (dai ritratti alle fotografie alle maquettes fino agli stessi materiali contenuti nelle scatole) suggerendo il concetto di una fondamentale &"continuità&" nel rapporto tra arte e vita. Il catalogo rispecchia l&'&"horror vacui&" dell&'esistenza creativa di Andy Warhol, ne riproduce la ricchezza e l&'intensità, ed è esso stesso, a suo modo, un &"oggetto d&'arte&".

Book excerpt: There is a particular flavor to the loneliness that comes from living in a city, surrounded by thousands of strangers. This roving cultural history of urban loneliness centers on the ultimate city: Manhattan, that teeming island of gneiss, concrete, and glass. How do we connect with other people, particularly if our sexuality or physical body is considered deviant or damaged? Does technology draw us closer together or trap us behind screens? Laing travels deep into the work and lives of some of the century's most original artists in a celebration of the state of loneliness.
