Literature Frayda Feldman and Jörg Schellmann 355 Catalogue Essay Friday, January 14, 1983 ...So I got home and watched Rebel Without a Cause, and gee, it was so... And James Dean looked so modern---the jeans and the Lacoste shirt and the red windbreaker, and leaning over with no underwear showing. Pat Hackett, editor, The Andy Warhol Diaries, p. 480 Read More Artist Bio Andy Warhol American • 1928 - 1987 A seminal figure in the Pop Art movement of the early 1960s, Andy Warhol's paintings and screenprints are iconic beyond the scope of Art History, having become universal signifiers of an age. An early career in commercial illustration led to Warhol's appropriation of imagery from American popular culture and insistent concern with the superficial wonder of permanent commodification that yielded a synthesis of word and image, of art and the everyday. Warhol's obsession with creating slick, seemingly mass-produced artworks led him towards the commercial technique of screenprinting, which allowed him to produce large editions of his painted subjects. The clean, mechanical surface and perfect registration of the screenprinting process afforded Warhol a revolutionary absence of authorship that was crucial to the Pop Art manifesto. View More Works
