"Andy," she asks, "the Canadian government spokesman said that your art could not be described as original sculpture. Would you agree with that?" Warhol answers, "Yes." "Why do you agree?" "Well, because it's not original." "You have just then copied a common item?" "Yes." The interviewer gets exasperated. "Why have you bothered to do that? Why not create something new?" "Because it's easier to do." "Well, isn't this sort of a joke then that you're playing on the public?" "No. It gives me something to do."
honsetly, i love the fact he's that honest, and his paintings/silkscreens, drawings, and etc were indeed original. And hey, no one else had done it, so in some sense that is originality. I love it's clean simplicity.
Either way, he was amazing and his art is beautiful and fresh and most assuredly enthrals me.
