I'm In Love With Andy Warhol
I am busy reading "The Andy Warhol Diaries"... Fascinating!
This lens is all about Andy.. his creative genius. I will post more info as I read the book! Ha ha! From what I have read so far he was a very kind person who always recognized value in people.
Andy Warhol always said,
"Thank you"... constantly.
I LOVE that!
Wish you were here Andy! Thank you for all that you left us with; your wit, inspiration for art; your diary.. wow; the notion that inspiration can be found in the smallest of things.
THANK YOU!

Andy Warhol Quotes
Some of these are soo great!
~~
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
~~
Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.
~~
Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
~~
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
~~
During the 1960s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don't think they've ever remembered.
``
Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.
``
Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up and they're always tax-deductible.
``
Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
``
Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
``
I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say "figment."
``
I always wished I had died, and I still wish that, because I could have gotten the whole thing over with.
``
I am a deeply superficial person.
``
I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.
``
I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.
``
I like boring things.
``
I love him, I worship him. I masturbate to Duran Duran videos.
``
I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.
``
I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.
``
I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn't be there. I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment.'
``
I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.
``
I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
``
I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.
``
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
``
I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is "In 15 minutes everybody will be famous."
``
I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom.
``
I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks.
``
If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.
``
In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
``
Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?
``
It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.
``
It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.
``
Land really is the best art.
``
Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
``
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person.
``
Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.
``
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.
``
Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets.
``
Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
``
The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
``
The most exciting thing is not doing it. If you fall in love with someone and never do it, it's much more exciting.
``
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
``
What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.
``
When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships.

Reasons to love Andy Warhol
~~*~~Andy Warhol was a marketing genius but he was also a valid artist. He was relentless in his pursuit towards the arts. A great reminder to me for when I get lazy!

Andy Warhol at a Glance
:For the song by David Bowie, see Andy Warhol (song).
Andrew Warhola (, August 6, 1928 ? February 22, 1987), more commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats.
Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. He coined the expression "15 minutes of fame".

I don't know. I think he was more about a style rather than real art. After all, much of his work was basically multicoloration of allready made prints. I recently watched a movie called "The Factory Girl." Guy Pierce portrayed Andy and it concerned one of his dear friends of the time, a beautiful socialite from a rich family, I forget her name. He made her his first "Superstar" and then dropped her like a bad habit later on in their weird relationship. I just think he was a little too eccentric and not necessarily in a good entertaining way.

andy warhol is prob one of the best artists that ever lived. where impressionist and pop art is the best kind of art. i love how he was sarcastic with every aspect of his life. he seems to be incredibly commercial on the surface and yet somehow you know that was just the thing he hated.

- Out of Warhol's Inner Circle Into the Void
By A. O. SCOTT
Published: December 14, 2007
Twenty years after his death, Andy Warhol continues to exert a powerful, almost queasy fascination, not only because of his work - which has proven more durable and interesting than it may have seemed before - but also because of the enigma of his personality. He has become a recurrent figure in movies, documentary and otherwise, where he is often inscrutable and vaguely sinister, a watchful predator in relation to the young people who surrounded him in the 1960s Factory days.
The idea of Warhol as a corrupter and destroyer of innocence was fairly overt in George Hickenlooper's "Factory Girl," which starred Sienna Miller as Edie Sedgwick, a well-born New Englander who appeared in some of Warhol's films. The notion is implicit in "A Walk Into the Sea," Esther B. Robinson's documentary about Danny Williams, a former Harvard student who was also part of the Factory...
