More than any other figure throughout art's long history, Andy
Warhol has attracted fans, aficionados, enthusiasts, experts,
critics, art historians, philosophers and many thoughtful others
who have not just reported on the details of his life's work but
have struggled to make sense of it as an enigma. Citizen Warhol
carries this inquiry forward by unpacking the lasting effects of
Warhol's most deep-seated influences - his Byzantine-rite
religiosity and its relationship to the retinue of Roman Catholics
that starred in his films and staffed his studio, his art training
in an institutional crucible dominated by Andrew Carnegie's Gilded
Age theory of art, his powerful identification with Shirley
Temple's frolic in the adult world under the cover of childhood,
his formative dalliance with the guilt-ridden sensibility of
arch-decadent and Catholic convert Aubrey Beardsley, and his
triumphs as a commercial artist working in a professional world
still beholden to the Red Decade ideals of the 1930s as a 'cheaper
Ben Shahn', the leading Social Realist artist. Each of these
underappreciated influences were fundamental to the life and legacy
of the mature Warhol, an artist best understood as the Leonardo of
our age who, more than any other, has given formative poetic
expression to the epoch of the global consumer.
