Warhol, Campbell Soup Can (tomato), 1962- Pop Art-Consumer Grade
From a series of 36 paintings each of the variety of soups, they were in LA first, they were displayed on a shelf. Reference to the super market. Chose can because:
1)of the word CAMP. Camp is for Himself .
2)His mother lived with him and used the soup a lot for lunches
3) Found it to be the epitome of the American market. American market stands for –Variety, cheap mass produced food, plenty.
Why not sell it in a super market? Bad for business, have to sell it cheap in a supermarket. celebrated CAPITALISM. Produce it cheap and sell EXPENSIVE
Started doing silkscreen in 62' print painting onto canvas, irregularity on each image making them all unique.. worth more |

Warhol, Dick Tracey, 1961- Pop Art-Comics
for HIMSELF, purpose: very complicated self portrait of who he is, who he wants to be, and his guilt
Sam's(guy on right) messed up nose represents how warhol feels about his own nose, had multiple nose jobs always found it ugly (deformed) weakened Sam's chin from the original comic to make a contrast between a handsome (dick Tracy) and not handsome(Sam) face
evidence when you are young you develop sexual taste from media, Warhol had an attraction to Dick Tracey. Dick Tracey is a stand in for the beautiful boys that he could not draw anymore that he desired and desired to be like.
top of comic where it cut off it is a white blob it's a breast of the villain of the character Crewy Lou- girl with crew cut hair."lesbian villain" "all Three" - three "gay" characters
- Shaded out E- eve Bible- Warhol is Catholic. Catholic- eve is the embodiment of guilt. Being a profound Catholic, Warhol believed that homosexuality was second to murder. This caused guilt, and he identified with Eve. |

Warhol, Marilyn Monroe,1962 Pop Art-Death and Disaster Series
Movie star and Death, death and glamour
Silk screen painting neutral image. He is not interested in sexy Marilyn because it is too clear. Marilyn that is fairly open, Open Sign(viewer puts content in image depending on how they feel about it). This Marilyn is where you put your meaning in it, if you think this is tragic or sexy you decide, you participate. Warhol was very concerned about audience participating from seeing johns work that forced people to participate because it wasn't perfectly clear. (History of the writing on this work what Marilyn meant to the writer. Lipstick, hair color, and mascara, Where is she who is she…
Just products.?)
Warhol loved glamor. wanted to be famous b/c it changes how people see you. |

Warhol, last supper 1985, pop art
Focuses on Christ’s face. Interesting “one of you will betray me”- Jesus everyone else’s reaction.
The expression on Christ’s face. He is calm, not angry, accepting. Meant a lot to Warhol the judge is accepting that someone will betray him. Warhol went to church everyday- never go to communion because he would not confess. Soothes his conscience, good new is he dies while producing these works. Died of godiva chocolates- gull bladder taken out heavy in wax. He ate so many godiva chocolates he died. The nurse fell asleep and could have been saved. |

Lichtenstein, Drowned Girl, 1963- Pop Art
Functions: 1) aesthetic pleasure
2) personal fantasy
the wave on her shoulder is more aesthetically pleasing. what he saw in the work is a shift from low to high. thought the artist who produced this knew the art (the great wave) famous Japanese print from Hokusai.
He is interested in this art because of the formal potential they have. He changed Mal to Brad.Mal means bad. He left the emotional face of the girl, and we have a narrative(-boy meets girl they fall in love some problem arises they fix the problem and married with kids and happy. romantic comedies)
Brad- and beautiful blondes- gets separated from wife 1961 he is doing love stories - lady Eisenhower psychologist-
Brad- alter ego wasp handsome wasp.
these paintings speak to adults. people are laughing because she would rather drown than ask for help- you are laughing at your attraction to love comics. |
