SuperWarhol

Caught a fever and still suffering from my jet lag, so I decided to stay in bed today and read the SuperWarhol book that I bought in Paris a few weeks ago.

It was very thick and incredibly heavy, but it was sold in a very reasonable price and it was worth it anyway.

One of Warhol's quotes in the book.

The thing about Warhol is that his artworks are very bold and bright and controversial and vivid and it could be both categorized as commercial and non-commercial art. I love the fact that he designed ads but also did his own independent works.

I don't know why, but I'm more interested in seeing Warhol working (especially when he's shooting) rather than by just looking at his works. It's not like I didn't like his artworks - I love them! - it's just that most artists are either quite or very private but Warhol was loud when it comes to his ideas and opinions. I can say that I do not agree in all of his ideals, but I highly appreciate his confidence.

The first ever Warhol's work that I ever encountered wasn't the Campbells Soup ad, surprisingly. It was The Velvet Underground's album cover. And it was amazing.

"Robert Mapplethorpe", one of my personal favorites.

As you can see, I'm a sucker when it comes to black and white photos.



This has been a long post.

Good night, x
