Right And The Brooklyn Museum Of Art

True Meaning Of Art

He claims that because of reproduction, the art of the past no...

Images Of Chairman Mao
784 wordsThe attitude of Warhol only confused society more. Instead of hiding his association with commercial art as other artists did, drawing and dividing the line between it and real art, he erased the line.

Warhol has never objected to this state of affairs, which he did so much ...

She writes, art should surprise and astonish, and hopefully make you think something you had not thought until you saw it. I agree with her statement completely.
