[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 34048, member: 1061"] Since you asked... I put Andy Warhol on the same bus with Pablo Picasso. Their art was created not for the sake of art itself, but with the intent of earning a living. Picasso's early work was just horrible, he was a hack. It wasn't until he pioneered the Cubism movement that people started to take note of his work and buying it. Picasso was creative, and an artist, but he was also kind of a sellout. Andy Warhol was a pop culture artist whose work was a sign o' the times. Personally, I don't consider Warhol to be much of an artist. [I]The Factory[/I] (Warhol's studio) was a haven for a number of 60's drug-enhanced artists...including Bob Dylan. It was also where Warhol created some of his film work, including the silent film [I]Blow Job[/I], where the camera focuses on a man's facial expressions while he receives oral sex from another man for half an hour. To me, that's not art. [/QUOTE]
