What works does Andy Warch, the representative writer of pop art, have?

Andy warhol (andy warhol,1928.8.6-1987.2.22, translated by Hong Kong and Taiwan? Hehe is considered as one of the most famous figures in the art world in the 20th century, an advocate and leader of pop art, and also an artist who has the greatest influence on pop art ... He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, and is a descendant of Czech immigrants. Warhol loved painting since he was a child and studied at Carnegie Institute of Technology. 1949 (2 1 year old), he left Pittsburgh and went to new york to look for opportunities to make a fortune. He knows that if he wants to succeed in American visual arts, he must be seen and known by people, and the mass media has given him a lot of inspiration. 1952(24 years old) succeeded in commercial advertisement painting in new york and gradually became a famous commercial designer. He designs greeting cards, window displays and commercial illustrations, which determines that his works have a commercial style. His works emerged in new york as early as 1952, and in 1956, he won the "Art Director's Club Award" that advertisers dreamed of. He hired a team in the famous studio "Factory", abandoned classical art and decided to engage in subversive concept creation. Mass production is one of them, and turning canned soup and coke bottles into works of art is also widely known. From 65438 to 0954 (at the age of 26), Warhol won the Outstanding Achievement Award of the American Graphic Design Society for the first time. 1956(28 years old) and 1957(29 years old) won the unique achievement award and the highest achievement award of the Art Directors Club. In 1960s, he began to reinterpret everyday objects as the theme of his works to reflect the real life in America, and became a representative figure of pop art with a Kangbao soup. He used Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth and other famous actors to create unique paintings with repeated impressions on the basis of drawing lessons from cartoon photo impressions and screen printing techniques. He likes to completely cancel the manual operation of artistic creation, and often pastes dollar bills, cans, garbage and celebrity photos directly on the canvas, breaking the boundary between elegance and popularity, and is deeply loved by the world.

As the most famous representative of pop art in the 20th century, he "twisted or packaged" Mao Zedong, Marilyn Monroe, underground velvet, Coca-Cola, Dollar and Chanel No.5, especially his design of underground velvet from content to form, making this band the only miracle comparable to the Beatles in music history, and underground velvet has never stopped their influence on the world and its culture since then.

Warhol is not only the leader of pop art, but also a film producer, writer, rock composer and publisher. He is a star artist in new york's social and artistic circles. Unlike European designers, Warhol's works are not conceptual, philosophical and personalized, and his style embodies pragmatism, commercialism, pluralism and humor. "Everyone can be a celebrity 15 minutes" is the most optimistic fable left by andy warhol to the media age, but as far as its great influence on today's art is concerned, his own 15 minutes is far from over. Andy warhol is a legend in his time and now, in the United States and the world.

Warhol was a sharp-edged art student when he was a teenager. Encouraged by his teacher, he decided to go to new york, an art melting pot. At first, he was only responsible for illustration design for books and periodicals, but he soon became famous in the pop art circle in new york. The most prominent style is to turn characters into visual goods through screen printing and repeated images. Representative works include Marilyn Monroe, Canned Campbell Soup, Coke Bottle, Car Accident, Electric Chair, etc. These works are all in Warhol's new york Studio. By 196 1 year, Warhol was known as another avant-garde art celebrity after Dali and Picasso. Whether it is a roll of toilet paper or a toilet board, as long as it is stamped with his seal, it will immediately become fashionable!

In 962, he was famous for his "sculptures" of soup pots and Blillo soap boxes. His painting patterns are almost the same. He uses images taken from mass media, such as Campbell's Soup Pot, coca-cola bottle, US dollar bills, Mona Lisa and Marilyn Monroe's heads as basic elements, and arranges them repeatedly in his paintings. He tried to completely cancel the manual operation factor in artistic creation. All his works are made by screen printing technology, and the images can be repeated countless times, bringing a unique dull effect to the picture. For his works, harold rosen Berg once jokingly said: "The pillar composed of numbing and repetitive canned Campbell soup is like a humorous joke that has been told over and over again." (The Concept of Modern Art, edited by Nicholas Stangos, translated by Hou Hanru, Sichuan Fine Arts Publishing House, 1988, p. 247. ) He prefers repetition and duplication. "I have had the same breakfast for twenty years," he explained. "I guess it's the same thing over and over again." For him, there is no "originality", his works are all replicas, and he just wants to replace the original position with countless replicas. He deliberately eliminated the color of personality and emotion in his paintings and quietly listed the most common images. He has a famous motto: "I want to be a machine", which is in sharp contrast to Jackson Pollock's claim that he wants to be natural. His paintings, almost inexplicable, "can arouse infinite curiosity-it is a slightly terrible vacuum that needs to be filled with small talk and empty talk." (The Shock of New Art by Robert Hughes, translated by Liu Pingjun, Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House, 1989, p. 307. In fact, the monotony, boredom and repetition of andy warhol's paintings convey a feeling of indifference, emptiness and alienation, and show people's inner feelings in a highly developed commercial and civilized society.

Marilyn Monroe's head is one of the most interesting themes in Warhol's works. In the painting "Marilyn Monroe" by 1967, the painter used the heads of unfortunate Hollywood sexy movie stars as the basic elements of the picture and stood in a row repeatedly. The simple, neat and monotonous portrait of Monroe reflects people's helpless emptiness and confusion in modern commercial society.

In Warhol's paintings, there are often smeared newspaper meshes, immortal pages with wet ink, and inaccurate rough images, which make people watch carefully like watching TV for a while, rather than enjoying the painting.

His works highlight a kind of ridicule and calmness. What he describes is simple and clear, and it is the most memorable image symbol in modern society.

Warhol broke the boundary between eternity and greatness; Break the boundaries between handicrafts and mass production, Dada art and rare art, painting and photography, canvas and film. He added a tragic color to mediocrity, making tragedy unremarkable. He destroyed the hierarchy of the image of "art", abolished the arbitrary boundary of "art", and communicated the two arts of Yangchun Baixue and Xialiba.

He has an intuition that he can find the painting prototype he wants from the photos and images sent by millions of mass media. After the production is completed, it will express an objective evaluation of the mechanical and rigid modern life. If someone hates his paintings, he will also hate business culture. In the 265,438+0th century, when the world entered the competition of commercial economy, Warhol's popular cultural heritage still has great practical value and special significance for both the West and the East.
