i went to the andy warhol museum in pittsburgh .... that's where he was born ... the museum was excellent ... a good smattering of history ...lots about him .... and the evolution of his art ...
these giant bold flowers have always been favorites of mine .... though i also love the typical pop art pieces of commercial art ... like the soup cans and brillo and such ....
there were impressive amounts of portraits .... there were about a dozen life sized portraits of elvis ... he took up a whole wall of a gallery ....
the silver cloud room was my favorite ... cause sophie and i played with the clouds .... i always love the idea of the viewer interacting/becoming the art .... the joy of people bouncing silver pillows of air off the ceiling was just what andy warhol wanted, i think ....
above, sophie has captured a silver cloud ...
and here's another i appreciate ... venus ... taken from art history and made into andy warhol's .... i didn't copy a.w. on purpose, but this is how i feel about mona lisa ... that i take her and make her mine sometimes ...
and last .... but out of order, because it was the first pic i took in the museum ... he started his art career in advertising .... and drew ordinary things in gorgeous ways .... like bathtubs. ...
