I chose Andy Warhol: Images of Images and Abstract Expressionism and Pop: Art of 50's and 60's as the videos to blog about.
I have always been facinated with Warhol. I was a fan of the Velvet Underground and I knew that he discovered them. What I really enjoyed about this video was watching the silk screen process in action. They took a photograph of Warhol and explained how he created his work. It was also very interesting to have the Ten Lizes analyzed. After having things pointed out, I wondered why I hadn't noticed them in the first place.
The video on the art of the 50's and 60's was a bit dry but I liked again how it was broken down into the individual artists so that I could watch each as a separate segment. I really liked De Koonigs work. I think I like the colors.
I also was embarassed to know that the Girl with Hair Ribbon was done by Lichtenstein, not Warhol. I don't know why I always thought it was him.
