Abstract Details

2008, MA, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Art History.
As one of the mot widely recognized artists of the 20th century, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) and his art have been heavily debated and analyzed. His strict dedication to the Pop Art movement is manifested in several forms: his formalist stance, his enthusiasm for modernity and American consumerism, and his wide range of subject matter, including advertisement appropriations, cartoon replications, and serialized portrayals of celebrities. Because his oeuvre is so far-reaching and diverse, it is feasible that scholars and art historians may neglect some of it. An example of such an instance is with Warhol’s Do It Yourself series of 1962, a reproduction of the popular Venus Paradise paint by numbers kits. Although small in number, this series marks a turning point in Warhol's career as a result of its inherent involvement of spectator participation.
