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.

@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

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

@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 !

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

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

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...

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

@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 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

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.
