Maybe we should thank andy warhol. It is precisely because of the popular pop music movement in the 1960s that homosexuality became a status symbol. Together with the Beatles, Rolling Stone music, poster art and drug abuse scenes, as a manifestation of youth subculture and underground culture, it has gained certain rights of existence: Pop has become a way for the younger generation to pursue new art and new life, resist artistic authority and social norms, and enter the art market.
On the other hand, andy warhol is everywhere in all kinds of modern art exhibitions, avant-garde exhibitions and biennials. Screen-printed four-color heads copy the tribute to andy warhol year after year; A few hours, slow, stagnant film style seems to be the echo of andy warhol's Empire State Building style; There are more people who rely on the social appearance rate to become famous overnight, trying to practice andy warhol's philosophy of life. His famous saying has been quoted many times: "In the future society, everyone can succeed in 15 minutes." Andy warhol once said, "Being born is like being kidnapped and then being sold into slavery."
One of the most important events in the history of modern American pop art was 1967 when andy warhol was assassinated by the lesbian scarlet Surina. Andy warhol never recovered after his assassination. She died of surgery on 1987, and Wei Millie was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. She claimed that andy warhol suppressed her life too much. Her work "The Bubble Statement" was rejected by andy warhol, and has been reprinted many times since then, becoming a feminist classic. This kind of assassination is regarded as the impact and resistance to the so-called most avant-garde concept in the patriarchal society, and it is a kind of destruction and self-destruction of the edge facing the mainstream-it seems that the edge is not always the edge.
The content of andy warhol's works is closely related to consumerism, commercialism and celebrity worship in American society, and it is the product of consumer society, popular culture and media. In Warhol's works, due to the wide choice of themes and rich creative content, his works began to break through the previous single model and reflect a strong spirit of innovation. Its most obvious feature is the duplication of machine production, that is, the same theme elements or theme elements with different colors appear repeatedly in the same work.
Warhol is good at the intersection between painting, printing and photography, and constantly uses the media to repeat it. He boldly tried various reproduction techniques, such as letterpress printing, rubber or wood rubbing, gold foil technology and photo projection.
Art is the art of life, life is the life of art, and art form and life form are isomorphic in essence. Andy warhol used a unique way of expression to explain the cultural view, consumption view, anti-traditional ideology and aesthetic taste of the younger generation who grew up in western society under the background of industrialized production at that time.
Pop artists, represented by andy warhol, have changed the way people evaluate the world, life and art through extensive artistic exploration, proving that there is no distinction between life and art, and art is no longer enjoyed by a few people, but belongs to the general public, and gradually changes from serving the powerful to serving the people in a new way. It can be said that andy warhol's exploration and innovation of pop art has played a positive guiding role in the diversification and integration of modern art.
