RE: warhol [study]
wow, your interpretation is very interesting! Of course this study was made in context of this narritive -->
"...every 50 to 100 years, the being that is the “greatest artist”, is reincarnated and hosted by the body of the most important artist of that century.
every century the Greatest Artist possesses and displays immeasurable excellence that reflects and supports the social and political condition of our world."
I imagine that the narrator is in conversation with the present aka the viewer. The narrator implies that there is no "greatest artist" in the present moment. At the end of the video, a slideshow repeats of the last 5 greatest artists of the past century leading up until present day. Marcel Duchamp (01), Pablo Picasso(02), Salvador Dali(03), Andy Warhol(04), Jeff Koons(05) and then "?".
"?" is whoever is willing to fulfill the role that is the "most important artist of the 21st century" and/or the greatest artist(06)
.
I'm very interested in your interpretation of the crystal ball being a void. Especially in relation to the next greatest artist's current identity being a literal question mark "?". I also love how you noticed that Warhol is making eye contact with the viewer rather than looking into the crystal ball. You have a great eye lol
I would love to know more about your perception of the Warhol study in relation to the Anonymous narrative if you care to share more. I will for sure be opening up this narrative as time goes on, I'm learning more about the work and myself as the creator as time goes on.
Thank you again for your comment!

I welcome an interesting conversation. Although I’m not sure your question. The Warhol study is something the narrative of the video as one of 5 great artist as I understand. Are you asking if I think Warhol is one of the 5 greatest of the century? I’d say I know less of the narrative from the video and more of the sketch. It’s easier to surmise an assessment of intent from a sketch then it is from the fluid nature of a speech. I thenk generally there is a discussion the creator of video is searching for. Art is dying as form of entertainment. A discussion about art is a good place to start.
