Revision as of 05:57, 31 December 2006
Andrew Warhola,(August 6, 1928 — February 22, 1987), or Andy Warhol as he is known to the world, was an American renaissance man. Known primarily for his innovative paintings and artistic achievements, Warhol made a name for himself in the world of avant-garde film, music, publishing, writing, and acting. He helped to found and define the cultural Pop art movement that hit America during the 1950s. He was controversial, revered, and always daring.
Biography
Andrew Warhola was born to Andrej (Andrew) Warhola and Ulja (Julia) Justyna Zavacka
[citation needed] were working-class immigrants of Rusyn (Ruthenian) ethnicity from Mikova, in northeast Slovakia. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His parents,Despite stories circulating about Warhol's father working in coal mines, Andrej Warhola actually worked in construction in Pennsylvania. In 1930, the Warhola family lived at 55 Beelen St, in Pittsburgh, PA. The family was Byzantine Catholic. In third grade, Warhol came down with St. Vitus' disease, which affects the nervous system causing involuntary movements and is thought to be a complication of scarlet fever. This disease changed his appearance and his life forever. Warhol showed early artistic talent and studied commercial art at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. In 1949, he moved to New York City and began a successful career in magazine illustration and advertising. He became well-known mainly for his whimsical ink drawings of shoes done in a loose, blotted style. These figured in some of his earliest showings in New York at the Bodley Gallery.
In the 1960s, Warhol began to make paintings of famous American products such as Campbell's soup cans and Coca-Cola. He switched to silkscreen prints, seeking not only to make art of mass-produced items but to mass produce the art itself. He said he wanted to be like a machine. His most influential and important collaborator during this period was Gerard Malanga, who introduced Warhol to many of the superstars who would soon appear in his films, in addition to assisting the artist with the silkscreening of many of his major paintings, prints, films, sculptures and other items at "The Factory," his tinfoil-and-silver-paint lined studio located in New York. He also groomed a retinue of bohemian eccentrics upon whom he bestowed the ironic designation "superstars".
A lot of Warhol's works revolve around the concepts of Americana and American popular culture. He painted money, food, women's shoes, celebrities, newspaper clippings and everyday objects. To him, these subjects represented American cultural values. For instance, Coca-Cola represented democratic equality:
| “ | What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it. | ” |
This quote is typical of Warhol's deadpan commentary, and critics still argue about how seriously to take his various statements.
He used popular imagery and methods to visualize the American cultural identity of the 20th century. This popular redefinition of American culture is a theme and result of Warhol's art.[citation needed]
Shooting
Warhol's life would change forever on June 3, 1968, when Valerie Solanas shot Warhol in the chest. He suffered greatly from the wound for the rest of his life, having to wear a type of corset to support his back. Warhol became much more withdrawn after the shooting, controlling the ins and outs of the Factory much more closely.
The woman, Solanas, was the founder, and incidentally the only member, of a "group" called the "Society for Cutting Up Men" (S.C.U.M.) and she wrote a short work called the S.C.U.M. Manifesto. It was obviously a piece of radical feminist literature that was made famous by her shooting. It's followers are comprised of those who take the work seriously, and those who enjoy mocking it. Solanas was arrested the day after the shooting,(coincidentally, the day that Robert F. Kennedy was shot), and when she was asked about a motive, she simply said that "He had too much control over my life."
Warhol had a re-emergence of critical and financial success in the 1980s, partially due to his affiliation and friendships with a number of prolific younger artists, who were dominating the "bull market" of '80s New York art: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, David Salle and the so-called Neo-Expressionists, as well as Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi and members of the Transavantguardia movement, which had become influential. In 1985, Andy Warhol was selected as one of the Absolut Vodka artists, and several of his paintings incorporating the Absolut Vodka bottle in it were utilized in advertisements, bringing his art to the attention of a broader audience.
Death
In 1987, Andy Warhol was admitted into New York Hospital for a routine surgery for his gallbladder. He was released from the hospital, but died in his sleep on February 22, 1987 at 6:32 a.m. The cause was attributed to a sudden hear attack. On furthur invesitgation, the coroners found that Warhol's body was overloaded with several fluids from his surgery. He had not been monitored properly at the hospital, and his body became overloaded, contributing to his sudden death. Warhol's lawyers, upon hearing the news, sued the hospital for negligence. Warhol had put off his needed surgery because he had an acute fear of entering hospitals and being cared for by doctors.
Warhol was buried back in his home of Pennsylvania. His grave is located at St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Cemetery in Bethel Park, just south of Pittsburgh. Yoko Ono, among others, spoke at his funeral.
Most of Warhol's possessions were autioned off at Sotheby's over an extensive period of nine days amd grossed over 20 million dollars. His estate was left to his remaining family, and was valued at far more.
Religious beliefs
Warhol regularly volunteered at homeless shelters in New York, particularly during the busier times of the year, and described himself as a religious person. Many of his later works contain almost hidden religious themes or subjects, and a body of religious-themed works was found posthumously in his estate. Warhol also regularly attended Mass during his life, and the pastor of his Byzantine Rite Catholic church, Saint Vincent's, reports that he visited the church almost daily.
Warhol's brother has described the artist as "really religious, but he didn't want people to know about that because [it was] private." Despite the private nature of his faith, in Warhol's eulogy John Richardson depicted it as devout: "To my certain knowledge, he was responsible for at least one conversion. He took considerable pride in financing his nephew's studies for the priesthood."
Works
Paintings
When he decided to pursue a career as an artist, Warhol already had established a reputation as a commercial illustrator mostly doing illustrations of shoes. In school he had created paintings, but his work afterward had mainly consisted of "blotted ink" illustrations for warehouses and magazines. He felt he was not being taken seriously as an illustrator and wanted to become a true artist.
When he started painting, he wanted to find a target for himself. At the time Pop Art, as it was later named, was already an experimental form. Warhol turned to this new style where popular subjects could be part of the artist's palette. His early paintings show images taken from cartoons and advertisements, hand-painted with added paint drips. He added these drips to give his paintings a seriousness by emulating the style of the abstract expressionists that were popular at the time. He wanted to be taken seriously or to sell his paintings, which may have had the same meaning to Warhol.
To him, part of defining a niche was defining his subject matter. Cartoons were already being used by the artist Roy Lichtenstein, typography by Jasper Johns, and so on; Warhol wanted a distinguishing subject. His friends suggested he should paint the things he loved the most. In his signature way of taking things literally, for his first major exhibition he painted his famous cans of Campbell's Soup, which he had for lunch most of his life. Warhol loved money, so he later painted money. He loved celebrities, so he painted them as well.
From these beginnings he developed his later style and subjects. Instead of working on a signature subject matter, as he started out to do, he worked more and more on a signature style, slowly eliminating the hand-made from the artistic process. Warhol frequently employed silk-screening; his later drawings were traced from slide projections. In other words, Warhol went from being a painter to being a designer of paintings. At the height of his fame as a painter, Warhol had several assistants who produced his silk-screen multiples, in different versions and variations following his directions.
Warhol produced both 'comic' (e.g., soup cans) and 'serious' (e.g., electric chairs) works. The unifying element in his work is his deadpan Keatonesque style - artistically and personally affectless. Before this blankness, the lack of signifiers of sincerity, the viewer is forced to attempt to read behind the surface to what the 'real Andy' thinks. Is Andy horrifed by death or does he think it is funny? Are soup cans in art galleries about the cheapness of mass culture, a cynical joke about the American collector's artistic nationalism (and aim for their wallet), or his genuine love for his mother (who maternally fed him canned soup)? His withdrawal ends up being the opposite of self-effacement.
As time went on, Warhol's work became more conceptual. His series of do-it-yourself paintings and Rorschach blots are intended as pop comments on art and what art could be. His cow wallpaper (literally, wallpaper with a cow motif) and his oxidation paintings (canvases prepared with copper paint that show oxidated urine stains) are also noteworthy in this context. Equally noteworthy is the way these works — and their means of production — mirrored the mores and atmosphere at Andy's New York "Factory." Biographer Bob Colacello provides some details on Andy's "piss paintings":
It has been suggested that Warhol would just take images of things that were hip in his time and cover them in "Warhol gravy", but for Warhol there always was a personal relation between him and his subjects. For instance the Campbell's Soup did not only function as an illustration of commercial industry and advertisement, it was an intrinsic part of Warhol's life and memories. As a child his mother had given him this soup when he was sick, and Warhol loved it very much as an adult.
Another criterion that was important in the way Warhol chose his subjects was they had to represent a more philosophical notion and have a metaphorical quality. When Warhol painted money, he painted it because he wanted to own it - canvases filled with money. Partly his work was meant to provide him with this money (and success, fame and maybe even love). At the same time, these paintings spoke of art as a commercial commodity: the paintings of dollar bills represented monetary value as well as investments. In this way, instead of merely depicting dollar bills, the paintings touched on notions like artistic value or as a comment on art practice.
Similarly, when Warhol painted photographs of disasters in bright colors ("Red Car Crash", "Purple Jumping Man", "Orange Disaster") they pointed at the horror of the event in the picture and its media value but also at the way in which such images are trivialized by the media. By turning these "random" clippings into paintings, Warhol transformed them into monuments for personal tragedies. As such, they represent a personal experience as well as a social comment and an illustration of a time when the media grew in pertinence and relevance.
Films
From 1964 to 1968 Andy Warhol was consumed with writing and directing avante-garde films. Many of them were acute in subject and pornographic in nature, most of them too shocking for the common movie-goer. However, even with critisims, he was able to create a decidedly "Warholian" style and bring it to the screen. Many of Warhol's films were unpopular, scandalous, and unsuccessful, but in 1966, one broke the mold, his film Chelsea Girls was a seminal work in the world of film. When Warhol fans went to see the film, they were amazed to see not one picture playing, but a split-screen showing two different captured images in tandem. Instead of one camera, Warhol used two 16 mm cameras to capture two stories and played them simultaneously on screen. It worked because of the use of the sound, while one film was focused on with sound and narrative, the other film was silent, and vice-wersa. It was a complex and new process, with incisive detail needed in the sound management of both films in the projection booth. This unique process inspired future films such as Mike Figgins Timecode/(film)|Timecode, and even later with Fox's television series 24.
Warhol's desire to direct films came to a halt after he was shot in 1968. The highly reclusive Warhol left the company he had formed, Factory to his assistant director Paul Morrissey. Once Morrissey was given full reign, he took the film productions in a different direction, creating films that still had an edge, but were much more relative to the mainstream public, and therefore more popular. Some of Morrissey's films include Flesh, Trash, and Heat. Although these films were labeled with Warhol's name, it became apparent that they were clearly Morrissey's projects. In fact, to help the success of the later films (which Morrissey believed had a greater chance of being successful) the distribution of all of Warhol's earlier, avante-garde films were put to an end by 1972. However, by 2005, many of Warhol's original films have again been made available through DVD distribution.

Music
Warhol was highly adept designing album covers and his talents remained sought after for most of his career. He designed the cover art for two albums of The Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers (1971) and Love you Live (1977). Mick Jagger was so impressed that he commissioned several portraits of himself in 1975.
Warhol was good friends with Bob Dylan and John Lennon, designing Lennon's album Menlove Avenue (released posthumously). While at the same time, Warhol's production company produced music videos for two hits by the Cars, Hello Again and Misfit.
Wanting to experience even more in the music industry, Warhol took the band Velvet Underground and made them one of his projects. Trying his had as a music producer for the band's first album The Velvet Underground and Nico, his "producing" simply boiled down to the fact that he paid for the studio time it took to record the album. The team fell apart after the album's release, when Lou Reed, the band leader, and Warhol disagreed about the band's future. Incidently, Warhol designed the cover art for the album.
Warhol's influence was felt by various artists of the new wave/punk rock era, including the band Devo and David Bowei—who's song, "Andy WArhol" was composed for his 1971 album, Hunky Dory.
Books and print
To add to his collection of accomplishments, Warhol also became a writer. He self-published a number of books about his life including:
- 25 Cats Name Sam and One Blue Pussy (1954)
- Gold Book
- Wild Rasberries
- Holy Cats
Warhol's first book, 25 Cats was a very unique publication, Warhol was very specific about it's printing. There was a limited first edition printing of 190 hand colored copies on watermarked paper that used Seymour Berlin's specialized blotted line technique for lithographs. Warhol never sold these editions, keeping them instead to use for gifts to friends and clients.
Later Warhol "wrote" several books that were commercially printed.
- A, a novel (1968, ISBN 0-8021-3553-6) is a literal transcription - (including all of the spelling errors and explanation of background noises) of Warhol's interactions with several of his close friends, among them Ondine, as they went about their parties, had conversations, and relaxed at the Factory.
