Lesson 7: Warhol - PBS

 1.  What are the three most interesting stories in this film? Do you like Warhol more or less now? Is Warhol avante garde?  What do you think is Warhol's strangest piece? Why? - While watching the film, the three stories that were interesting was the beginning of Andy’s life of how he wanted to be a top artist, the struggles he went through throughout his personal life, and dealing with art directors, finding the image that would speak to him more. In terms of Andy, he is very Avant Garde, he started doing silk screen art and combining popular figures as well. As a whole, I still like his background as an artist as a whole and the work he makes, like the Shot Marilyns, the Campbell soup cans, and his self portraits. In my opinion, Warhol’s strangest piece of art he made was Big Electric Chair, majority of the piece is purple while a little bit of it was, instead of focusing it one one color or colors that would make it look like an electric chair. 2. What do we learn fro...

How did this shape MOMA? How was this exemplified by The National Gallery? - In Robert Hughes’ words, America created the modern museums we know and go to today showing us the importance of the educational purposes of the museum and how to exceed in terms of education as well. In terms of Alfred Barr, this man was a huge contributor, he was the man who was the director of the Museum Of Modern Art which is located in New York City. MOMA is a museum that contains loads of not only regular paintings, sculptures, drawings, etc but they also contained film art, media, and performance arts as well, plenty of room to store different works of art in different categories. The National Gallery in Washington would bring attention to the influence on America in terms of engaging in the different fo...
