Summary: The Warhol art brand has outlived the time in which it a was expected. His style of art set chaos through the world of Modern Art as they knew it. Through his art, the distinction between business, reality, art, life, and work where demolished, this is why his legacy is still in today’s society. Now in today’s day and age, photo shop will let you recreate his style, and had he been here to witness this, he would know exactly how to harbor the market and make it his own. Not only has it been made easy to recreate Warhol’s art, but it seems as if he has been exhibited in several exhibitions in the past year. And those local artist are still mesmerized and intrigued at how he made such a difference in the art world. One exhibit is in a way combining all the elements of Warhol’s work into a unique gallery. An exhibit of his versatility as an artist. Focusing on the musical influences in his career, one key person would have to be John Cage. The exhibit also asks the viewer to replace the association of Warhol to commercialism and associate him with philosophy.
Response: I chose this article because it seems to focus more on how Warhol is still in our society today. His art is timeless and will forever fit into the image that the world has set. Instead of focusing on the commercial aspect of Warhol, the writer asks for the reader to “replace our reading of Warhol’s pop art as a comment on commercialism with a more deeply aesthetic philosophy.” I agree with this because Warhol thought through his art even if it was a spur of the moment idea. He knew that he had a goal with his art, hence where the philosophy part comes in.
