Comments on: Andy Warhol http://www.roibal.net/blog/2009/11/12/andy-warhol/ A daily discipline to observe and draw Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:24:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Larry http://www.roibal.net/blog/2009/11/12/andy-warhol/#comment-108250 Larry Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:06:50 +0000 http://www.roibal.net/blog/?p=2799#comment-108250 Agreed Vee...don't get me started on Duchamp's Urinal. But while the fine art world generally looked down their nose at commercial art while practicing commercialism, Warhol embraced commercialism, so regardless of what you think of his work, you can't call him a hypocrite. That's why the ad reference as opposed to the stock page, which would have worked as well. Agreed Vee…don’t get me started on Duchamp’s Urinal.

Just a thought, this doodle would be against a newspaper article about stocks going up. I never really dug Warhol. And I definitely understand why he was attracted to the work and energy of Basquiat and Herring. WOW 386k 1986 -> 43.7 million 20+ years later!?! The irony is KILLING me, 200 one dollar bills = $386,000 = 43.7 million!!! Personally I always thought that fine art was more about a hustle than anything else. I would just love to hear how art history teachers are explaining why artists putting elephant dong on the walls of the Brooklyn Museum or bicycle tire in the middle of the MOMA are celebrated. More importantly I really need to know who regularly purchases these works. I have 'stuff' to sell. Ok, rant ends now. You definitely captured his irreverent, whatever, smug expression.

As you probably know, he started as an illustrator in the fashion industry. I thought it appropriate to pay homage to the pop icon by doodling him on todays advertisements. Thanks Sue.
