Andy Warhol Tribute

[georgewu5]

A child can color photographs; Andy Warhol had colored the PHOTOGRAPH of Marilyn Monroe and many more. Is there anyone in the world could tell me why Warhol's colored photos are worth more money than a child's colored photographs ? George Wu, AIA 2011-1-10

[georgewu5]

Frank Lloyd Wright, Le corbusier,Da Vinci, Michelangelo,Puccini, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms,.... each had so much to bring to the world. What did Warhol bring to the world? Coloring photographs, even a child could do what he did. Then why is he called "An artistic genius" ? I honestly do not understand ! George Wu, AIA 2011-1-5

[georgewu5]

What genius? Genius of what? I don't see it what makes Andy Warhol so famous by coloring over and over again photographs of well known people ? The persons who used "genius" to call Andy Warhol had no idea of what art is. what do you call the real genius Da Vinci, Michelangelo, etc. I suspect all these people do not even know how to sketch,so they called each other a genius... George Wu, AIA 2011-1-4

[georgewu5]

Since the year of 1820, the invention of the camera brought an earthquake to the art world. Picasso, a man avoided using the photography to do his paintings. In the recent years, there was someone like Andy Warhol, took the bull by the horn, used the photos to the most obvious way, by using the photos directly. But I think both Picasso and Warhol had failed something more importantly. May I bring up a name Michelangelo as an example, to illustrate that art is more than using photography or not.

[georgewu5]

Even a small child could color a photograph of Marilyn Monroe the way Andy Warhol did. I really never could understand why Andy Warhol was so famous for ?! George Wu, AIA 2012-1-3

[georgewu5]

@georgewu5 Because Warhol could color the bleached blonde hair yellow and a small child would color the dark hair into strawberry red hair instead? George Wu, AIA 2011-1-3

Art is something you find beautiful. Art is what you believe in. If he thought this was art, then this was art. This has inspired me. To create something that means something. "Art is the weapon. Against life as a symptom. Defend yourself." - MCR.

[repelghosts]

De where are you? I have 2 Warhols and a bunch of Basquiat drawings if you want them....email me soon or I am going to practically give them away...J

[vickiehill1]

My husband's favorite artist. The man knows everything there is to know about Andy Warhol. I like his art, but not really into his movies, although I have watched them. I've done many famous people's portraits also, esp. Marilyn's, but given them as gifts. I think these days you would get in legal trouble for selling a famous person's image. Don't know, I've never tried. Times are different. Guess I should ask my lawyer. ?? :)

[georgewu5]

@vickiehill1 I don't blame Andy Warhol, but I do blame the stupity of the people who would like Andy Warhol's "ART". I think this is an insult to the intelligence of the public ! Because Andy Warhol and his lovers did not know better whether the general public like Michelangelo's( also a known homosexual .) ART more? George Wu, AIA 2012-1-3

[vickiehill1]

@georgewu5 Your opinion is interesting. So basically you are calling my husband "stupid" for liking Warhol's art? Stupid he is NOT, & apparently the public is NOT insulted because they paid BIG BUCKS & made Warhol rich. Are you rich? I don't think so...but that's ok. What's art have to do with the artist being homosexual?? Now you are the one who is being stupid.

[georgewu5]

@vickiehill1 I am glad I went to your post and saw the picture of you and your "husband". George Wu, AIA 2012-1-5

[georgewu5]

@vickiehill1 I agreed with you on the long hours spent on the painting by the artists of the past like Rembrant, they spent so much time that they did not have time for anything else in life. That was one of the reasons why China simplified the writing so that people would have time to learn technology, and the world already witnessed the progress China had made in the short 30 years. Yes, artists should not spend so much time doing one single painting, but I am not sure Warhol was the answer !

[georgewu5]

@georgewu5 Da Vinci, Michelangelo, warhol are well known homosexuals, but ........ You finish my sentence for me. George Wu, AIA 2011-1-3

[Kazuyaabi]

Fight Club Brought me here...

[roscoegino]

Question: Did Andy Warhol (or any artist like him) have to pay a licensing fee for the original photos before he could sell them as art?

[georgewu5]

@roscoegino Picasso did not have to pay a fee using anyone's photo because he never used anyone's photo to do his painting ! That is something I gave Picasso the credit for, although I never like his brutal drawings ever! George Wu, AIA 2012-1-11

[RocOutWithYoCaulkOut]

fykin original hipster

[andypichelife]

i need the name of the song please!! :)

[sviola1160]

I love this video and the song. What song is this anyway?

[waltersmisty]

HE WAS/IS A LEGEND the words people say will never diminish him...rofl DUH...see me if any questions lol

[purebloodgirl1]

Nice

[TheHipsterguy]

i kinda have a love hate relationship with Andy. and in that way you could say he has succeeded as an artist

[01thrilla]

Damn i love the song in this hahaha

[singers333]

Where's one of his most famous paintings - the Elvises? He said it was the most popular iconic image he created other than the Campbell's soup can.

[ChitownUFO]

@singers333 i don't think Elvis was ever done as a regular edition, instead he did some screenprints as a special edition, the one with Elvis holding a gun i believe right? besides soup cans Marilyn was most iconic and the Mick Jagger's are iconic too.

[MrMikeludo]

The definition of intellect is: the power or faculty by which one knows as opposed to that which one thinks or feels. The definition of imagination is: that which is not accessible to the senses. So we can know, factually, that Warhol was no genius, and so too was not Picasso, and so tooo were none of them: 20th centurty "artists." They were, factually, defined "con-artists."

[MrMikeludo]

The degration can also be defined as a regression back to point time zero: the point of a person's birth. And also the elimination of universally applicable empirical self-consciousnes: the knowledge that all of mankind can have in common gathered through their senses. Then "art" became the pinnacle antithesis of what art should be: To simply paint a picture of some "thing" never "seen" before, show "it" to the "child" mind: which had regressed back to point time zero, and watch them react.

[MrMikeludo]

In 1480 Leonardo da Vinci produced the world's first, and only, visual musical equivalent. This is what enabled art to acquire the title of "Art." This visual music contains a mathematical syntax. Experiencing of this syntax requires a developed cognitive capability. A prerequisite to this is a person's ability to cognize "space." We can actually see this ability degenerating from 1480 to 1880, with the introduction of Picasso, and the elimination of "intelligence" in and of art.

[agprincess013]

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Go look at the art of Tim Burton. Now THAT is a creative genius.

[Albus096]

@Hofsteder Rosenquist was mediocre at best, and J.K. Rowling is a genius by the way! I simply love Warhol and Rowling so don't bother replying to this if you don't agree.

[Albus096]

@Hofsteder He is the FATHER of pop art! He was a creative genius, his perception of everyday objects and people were just...WOW!

[SaranHerdFink]

Great.

[TheFinlandnator]

I remember when we were made to do pop-art in school. I took a piece of wood. Painted the other side of it black and the other side white. I glued two plastic pigs to the wood. I made a little top hat for the larger pig, then glued it to the white side and the smaller one to the black side so they stared at each other. Then I made a wire fence to separate the areas from one another.

It took 15 minutes to make and looked dull. Does that make me a genius and an artist?

[xMCRmyLovex]

@TheFinlandnator No, it doesn't. Because you didn't put anything into it. Use your imagination. Use what you believe in. Then create.

[JustCallButterfield8]

True genius.

[ciucinciu]

i piss on andy warhol

[iliyaDZ]

Who knows how many talanted people were there, throughout history who lacked Worhol's excentricity and persona, and therefore never got to make an impact with their art... Maybe it all goes down to being the right wako in the right place, at the right time to meet the right people, who would be moved by what you do...

[Paumiil]

He's my all times favorite artist :D

[girlscandrum]

Why are people getting so pissy? It's okay to disagree. But stop acting like two year olds. Sheesh.

[daydream1000]

Anyone that's talking shit on here is simply jealous that they can't make the kind of art he does. Sure, it seems simple, Andy is also recognized for what he created--Pop Art. Not too many other artists can say they created an artistic and maybe even social movement. So, shut the hell up trolls and bow before an amazing ARTIST!

[rbrine01]

Copy and paste photos with silkscreen, make some color changes, and voila! Now you can be Warhol too. Wait, it's even easier these days, just use Photoshop. Art for the masses? Yes, if you can call celebrity worship "art".

[catgirl1234]

Loved this tribute! It had a perfect blend of Warhol stirred nicely in together.

[kara1281]

I sell the Exclusive Dom Perignon Andy Warhol Collection on eBay.

[damnedcarrot]

This was all part of the initial movement to destroy real art. Now we live in a sick world of pop trash and untalented mass consumed garbage. Thx andy! Much appreciated.

[clunny100893]

@damnedcarrot

wow, you really think this was an initial movement to destroy are? you are a fucking idiot. Andy Warhol brought a whole new way of design and technology to art that was never there before, he updated art in only BENEFICIAL WAYS, not negatively .

[clunny100893]

@clunny100893

art**

[damnedcarrot]

@clunny100893 Please do the human gene pool a favor and kill yourself.

[clunny100893]

@damnedcarrot

Nah, I'll do the fair and kill you you fucking faggot

[ChitownUFO]

@damnedcarrot pop art was a movement after abstract expressionism

[xMCRmyLovex]

@damnedcarrot There's a difference between this kind of pop, and that rubbish music and people they call "beautiful" these days. You just have to find the stuff that has a heart and a soul. Basically, mainstream stuff sucks. But don't blame someone who actually put their heart and soul into something.

[B0XofAWES0ME]

i produce poo everyday am i an artist??

[Tawalisi]

Not an artistic genius..More like an ARTISTIC RETARD!

[leomatosuk]

Hello Guys! I am looking for the name of a movie ( I think it's foreign movie) about a painter who is contracted to paint a family, but then he discovers things about a dead boy son of the mother who tries to hide it...anyone can help me which movie is that? I think there's winter in the middle of the name! Thanks

[karel1111111]

'name' of the work on 2:15 ?

[eutuve]

Please visit my channel's back ground to see the homo-erotic drawing of Andy i own

[justfornow14]

Genius asshole.

[bobstronge]

@justfornow14 Andy Asshole, haha

[ThiagoAraujoT]

EU VOU! \O/

[slskmk]

Yes...

Best work of Andy Warhol in Brasil :D

I´m Happy....

[pedricolas1]

but he was a terrible person, not somebody that you want to hang around with. If you were drowning, he would take a picture or film it for the artistic value, you know.

[Hillary89x]

I love this kind of art was the only one I liked in high school .. The Pop Art is one of the most important artistic movements of the postwar period. Andy Warhol is the artist more representative of American Pop Art.

[jeeunnewyork]

hey what is the name of the song you put in there?

[anjecero]

@jeeunnewyork 'Shakin' all over' by The Guess Who

[jeeunnewyork]

Thanks a lot:)

[Theprettygentleman]

Here's a site I found with information on pop art artists from the past

myfavouritepopartartists(.)blo­gspot(.)com

[vogelvoordekat]

i like this!

[BekahMcDonald]

omg. people are so fucking dumb. if you don't like warhol, why even watch a video about him? because yes, he was a genius, in his own right, everyone is. and even if you think he's not, what exactly are you going to change? warhol was great. he went from nothing, a sick little polish boy, to one of the most influential people of his generation. kudos, aw. :]

[Gaoleng]

@BekahMcDonald Sorry to interrupt you, but he was not Polish, but Slovak...I know that..I´m from here.

[codylawrence100]

watch a video on edgar degas before you start calling anybody a genius

[VitoPossilipo]

@BekahMcDonald Czech not Polish. And what does it matter that he was a Slav, anyway? It sounds as if according to you Slavs were normaly losers.

[Rehema333]

@VitoPossilipo Sorry, not Polish either Czech. Actually he is Slovak, he was born in Pittsburgh however his parents were Slovaks.

[Rehema333]

@VitoPossilipo Sorry but not Czech not either Polish. Andy was born in Pittsburgh, his parents were Slovaks.

[VitoPossilipo]

@Rehema333 But he was of Czechoslovakian descent. I know that he was born in Pittsburgh.

[LetArtsLive]

@BekahMcDonald i agree.too all the people talking shit lets see your art and make mad cash like he did.He must have been very intelligent to market art.

[77muf]

@BekahMcDonald he was from Slovakia :)

[TheHersey]

How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.

-Pablo Picasso

...a true artist.

[leeannryan4]

@TheHersey maybe your reaction is exactly the one he wanted to get with his art?

[TheHersey]

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

-Andy Warhol

[TheHersey]

What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes, if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet, or even, if he is a boxer, just his muscles? Far from it: at the same time, he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image.

[chietiforever]

m'bict e poi sparet tu e warhol..........

[dagillac]

art isn't about being hard to do. it's not a riddle - the harder, the better.

such comments make me realise how important is knowledge and open mind in understanding art.

you're seriously missing the piont, my friend :)

[vaporizer08]

it is a shame to make a video of Andy Warhol and call him a genius..he was a crap of the highest order.There was no creativity in pop art in general, but some speculators, especially NY art galleries made tons of money by that crap called modern art. I am happy though the days of that shit art, which started with the greatest shithead Picasso are counted..peoplle are returning to the old and real masters of the art...

[untedeestrellas]

yeah, maybe it's easy to do, but nobody did it before him.

it's art. pop art♥

[sleepybag]

yeah jasper johns was doing it before him

[Maxmillionzucato]

ah such is hindsight

[infinitalocura]

edie sedgwick was so hot and cool!

The Guess Who - Shaking All Over

[sadisticfelon]

could anyone please tell me the name of the song??

[vanillaharlequin]

who is/are the chick/s this time:

1:50-2:30

?????

[vanillaharlequin]

edie segdwick...ok...-.-...i am cool...XXX

[Faysalaaa]

Whats The Name Of The Song?????????

[CherryxXxRock]

what is the name of this soong(???)

[SLACKER614]

great job!!

[LETRS]

if you people prize someone who will simply use a person (like warhol did to edie segwick) and then shit them out with no regard to theyre value as a person then your ten times as superficial as warhol admitted to being.

[mmoneyitswhereitsat]

well thats your opinion but warhol also made people see art in a different way so people can state their own opinons..about different kinds..if that makes sense

[kern0099]

Cosmetics in art are inaccessible? That's a new one. Camping it up for the straight crowd is anything but safe. In fact with people like you around, talking about "craft" and concept, it's downright suicidal, but that's why the academy turns out such earnest bores year after year. I want you to make me something that floats, and transports me. Serious art is just that, dreadfully serious and ironically, infintely strange and just a waste of time. Write a peom or a folk song instead.

[cwlux]

well done

[joseywalesm1911]

great tune, rock on new york city, f,n warhol. was great!!!!

[kern0099]

Queer

Innovator

Paraih

He could see reality of the masters for what it was.

Beauty is a prison, he freed it from the confines of the "collector", democratizing the experience of the outcast.

Your cock IS art, you are just too much of a fool to realize it.

You hold high what you don't understand...you're on your own, rube.

But so was Andy, so be nice to the company, you might change a little for the better.

[LETRS]

If a piece of art requires such an inaccessible justification such as yours then its not really that great. You almost always have to explain why warhols art was so revered to the truly talented young craftsmen who arent that impressed by its safe, mediocre nature. Great art needs no explaination, it just is. Yes, cocks can be art but thats so safe. do you prize safety in art? Anyone could sit there and pump out screen prints of famous faces and bland corporate products an call it art.

[Y0iTsCASSiE]

I absolutly love Andy Warhol.

Love it.

[alicanteh]

Oh! *WAS
