RE: warhol [study]

in #art6 years ago

Interesting! Well it's not coming from Warhol specifically but it is coming from art, the collective or general voice of art history past. Which through participation Warhol is prominently apart of as well as his predecessors . So that's where I make the connection. Warhol being one of the 5 significant "greatest artists" of art history past [that I'm focusing on in this work] in conversation with art history present about art history future. The idea for this study was conceived from his quote "in the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes", which shows that Warhol is capable of "seeing the future" or at least interested in defining it lol I do agree that the viewpoint is conjecture but isn't that what the future is? lol

I've been having trouble with deciding on a visual identity of the narrator and the Anonymous Guy Fawkes avatar was an easy go to because it is of course anonymous lol I do agree that it is a bit distracting and a little far off from the subject matter but I don't know if that is good or bad yet. But your point is definitely noted!

I agree with you about art dying as a form of entertainment but I think for different reasons(if I'm understanding what you said correctly) Art can for sure exist in chaos and can be spawned from it. You have works and practices from artists like Chris Burden, Francisco De Goya, Damien Hirst, Paul Mccarthy and even Picasso's Guernica that have lent from and to a chaotic world.

BUT I think what you said about art being complex and needing time from introspection and extensive thought is spot on. I also agree that there has been less time and space for this, but I think it is a symptom of social media and the art market. There is definitely a lack of consciousness in contemporary art and artists and the people who are funding the arts are not looking for great artists they're looking for investments. The absence of self expression and scarcity of individualism is where it is falling apart in my opinion-
