"Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just
measure it in inches." - Andy Warhol
"In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." - Andy
Warhol
A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's
most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for
the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series,
readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most
important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute,
while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.
Few artists of the 20th century were as enigmatic as Andy
Warhol, who once remarked, "If you want to know all about Andy
Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me,
there I am. There's nothing behind it." This statement is hardly
out of character for the famous artist, who remains famous for his
cagey answers to interviews and his refusal to speak from the
heart. It is no accident that Warhol wore a wig; paradoxically
enough, he required the company of others but refused to allow
himself to become emotionally intimate with anyone. If anything,
Warhol's public persona seemed to be structured around an apparent
lack of personality, and yet he later noted, "At the times in my
life when I was feeling the most gregarious and looking for bosom
friendships, I couldn't find any takers so that exactly when I was
alone was when I felt the most like not being alone. The moment I
decided I'd rather be alone and not have anyone telling me their
problems, everybody I'd never even seen before in my life started
running after me to tell me things I'd just decided I didn't think
it was a good idea to hear about. As soon as I became a loner in my
own mind, that's when I got what you might call a 'following.' As
soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to
be absolutely axiomatic."
Of course, Andy Warhol was more than just an apathetic figure;
after all, he is the most famous member of the artistic movement
known as Pop, a title that was coined by critics but which Warhol
epitomized like no other. The core themes of Pop art are
well-known: an ironic appropriation of mass culture; the
utilization of found objects (especially those relating to mass
culture); and an early postmodern tone of irony and even pastiche.
The works of Warhol and his cohorts in the Pop movement not only
stand as iconic works of post-war American art but also
fundamentally redefined what qualified as art in the first place.
Arriving on the heels of the Abstract Expressionist movement,
Warhol's art marked a dramatic turn away from abstraction and
toward the banal, but his works continue to enchant the public,
exceeding even the grand-scale Abstract Expressionist compositions
of Jackson Pollock. Warhol's virtuosity is bolstered by the fact
that he was able to thrive while working in different media; his
paintings and silkscreens have received by far the greatest focus
from art historians, but Warhol also created famous sculptures,
films, and drawings. More than just a great painter, he was a great
artist.
Just as memorably, Warhol was someone whose art was intertwined
with his personal life, so The Factory is nearly as big a pop
culture icon as Warhol himself. Warhol's eclectic group of
companions included artists, musicians, vamps, Bohemians, and
everyone in between. Like them, Warhol is an almost impossible
figure to pin down entirely, but American Legends: The Life of Andy
Warhol explores the many dimensions of his life and career. Along
with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will
learn about Andy Warhol like never before, in no time at all.
