- Andy Warhol, an American Prophet. In this video, we will discover what makes Andy such a pop culture icon and explore the impact he still has on us today.
A collection of portraits of some of the greatest artists including painters, architects, sculptors and photographers, along with their masterpieces as you’ve never seen them before. Le Corbusier, Andy Warhol, Picasso. Everyone knows their names, they are among the most inventive artists of their generation. But behind the legends, who are they?
Ambiguous personalities, each with their own controversial style, they broke all the codes. Famous the world over for their works, they each reflect their respective era. Through experts’ interviews, each episode takes us behind the scenes of a major exhibition to discover how, for example, Le Corbusier became a lasting influence on successive generations of architects.

I and two of brothers got to meet Andy. One brother was his stockbroker, another a musician that Andy featured in Interview Magazine. I had dinner with him twice and when I was working with a band in a New York studio, Andy was gracious enough to come down and take pictures with them. I always loved his art and his accidental death was a huge loss to the world.
i wrote about art for 10 years. andy has influenced so so so so so much. love so much about him. have watched a dozen docs about him and still cannot get enough.
Really? To me, his art is boring. I've had teachers at the school I attended, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, who tried to make me believe in it. And it all reads like a scam. I've no respect for it. He worked so little on it. He had zero respect for the medium.
Mtronix, I completely agree. People who get it, get it.👍
@@chopin65 sometimes art takes time to sink in. also you don't have to necessarily like his work to appreciate his contribution. i mean on top everything, coming from poverty, being gay, not liking how he looked, etc... he accomplished so much and was so brave about what he wanted to do. everything around you in pop culture is influenced by andy. otherwise it would look very 1950s still. there are artists that i don't love, but i can't say they aren't art giants.
@@chopin65 he had zero respect for the medium? i don't know what that means. that sounds like art critic nonsense, no offense. if you really want to go for it in art, you can't set boundaries.
@@mantronixtube It means he couldn't paint. 😒
My feeling with shit like this(art, technology, writing, film) is, that just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. There's nothing new but just because something's new doesn't mean its good or needs to be "explored".
Andy Warhol completely changed everything! Art, society, how and why people become famous. He's my absolute favourite artist because of his art and who he was.
I always have the idea that he was a pervert, or criminal. I used to live in one of his factory buildings on Union Square, and am a designer myself in NYC and Paris, but honestly don't really know all that much about him, I never really cared for anything outside his shoes and cherubs, but the impression I always had was he was kind of perverse, and totally full of shit. Why is that? Seems he was a very caring family oriented person.
My grandmother from Italy lived in the same building as the Cafe Bizarre and as a young teenager In early sixties would roam around Greenwich Village, and then eat real Italian to the sound of drums from below.
A revelation of the first order for me. Thank you so much.
RIP Andy you were and are a legend.
Fine bio in an hour. Big thank you. His art and his life can be understood as a pivot, a fulcrum for "everything is art."
So good and so much information. Wonderful.
Probably the best documentary I've ever seen. And finally someone has included his family.
there are other docs about andy with the family. but bc of your comment, i'm going to watch this. 🙂
I saw a bunch of his work I’d never seen.
👍🏽♥️ agreed
yeah since that PBS American Master or South Bank show
Autistics observe....
I love this channel so much.
Whatever he did or did not do,he will be remembered,not those who make these negative comments.
Spoken like a true boot kisser. Read the comments. Modern art abandoned nature and the common person. Modernism killed a belief in God, and postmodernism performed the autopsy. Modern criticism sneers at everyday people, and always assumes working class people are too uncouth to understand art. Maybe we can understand stand all their layers of deconstructed analysis. But we know when someone is insulting us.
RDS, I agree completely and love how you said it.👏
Which doesn't make those comments untrue.
Why is it if you have another point of view about something it always has to be perceived as“ negative?“ It’s not negative it’s not being a hater is just having another point of view about a subject. I made a lot of comments about not being a fan of Andy Warhol‘s work but at the same time admiring his work ethic and his gutsiness and savvyAnd being able to promote his work. If you learn anything about Andy at all from this documentary, you need to accept people as they are even those who have would you consider” negative opinions”
amazing documentary , thank u
Fascinating. Brilliant. Provocative.
Thanks so much
thank you for this
Excellent documentary! 👍🏻
outstanding !!
when i was young and bloody ignorant and went to andy worhols exebition in sydney art galery stupid me i didnt appreciate his artbut later when i got older i realised how fantastic he was i read about him and i wished i kept the fashion magazines that i bought in the 60 ts dam i wasso stupid but never mind i really learned by studying his art how difficult it was to produce something anywhere near it anyway i love his art now he was so much ahead of every one else i wish icould go to one of the galerys in america just to be in his pressence but being 80 now im not able to do such a trip so all you younger people appreciate the fact that you can go and have a look at great modern art if you wanted to lucky buggers 😃🌺😍🙋🌹
It's interesting to study how guys like Warhol, Picasso, or whoever made their money through their craft. Definitely something to ponder.
What has money to do with art?
@@philiptownsend4026 Everything and this is comin from a guy with 15 years in industry as an elite corporate advertising artist who came out poor as hell and decided to do my indie art with new business plan. i can say without ANY doubt - i've gone through all my life and am 36 years old now and 99% of all artists give up - EVERYONE i know has given up their art dream and it's bc they didnt take money into mind about it.
By observing…Yes, who can ever forget that quote by Evelyn Waugh?
Kudos to the filmmakers this was an excellently done
Xcellent content
Andy was worth $600,000,000 when he died, because someone’s got to bring home the bacon, someone’s got to bring home the roast.
He would get to the factory early. It’s work. The only thing that matters is work.
You’re definitely right. As much as I said in my mini concierge that I was unimpressed with Andy’s work artistically, he was able to produce what people wanted when they wanted it. He had an excellent work ethic and that is the sign of a professional I can respect that I will always respect that
Thanks
11/8/23 Viewing; loved it!
What a master
Andy Warhol was a great business man.
You just said everything we need to know about his "art".
Cheers
Even after seeing this excellent documentary piece I’m still no closer to understanding who Andy was and what motivated him or his process then I was coming into this. It’s a shame because I really would like to have seen a video where he describes his process and his mind how he approach his work
But being the private, shy, reclusive person that he was, he probably would never reveal that to anyone anyway. However if anyone reading this knows of any film or documentary where he actually expounds on his process please listed in the comments
The two most impactful artists of the 20th Century, for me, are Warhol and Duchamp...
Basquiat.
It seems a lot of people didn't want Andy Warhol to be considered a megastar artist, but they didn't prevail.
Andy Wohl one my teachers as amateur photographer gave guidance have maximum effect of photograph
I trully hope, our human civilization will evolve to the point to discover the DNA genetic map so deep in order to replicate it like a cooking recipe and bring back to life all genius artists...as well as finding the cure of those who have the murderers genetic problem in their blood.. if we could dream so far...yeah, let's dream on friends
♥️
I agree with his mother, it was not art, no matter how much it is worth. But, that is all art of the 20th century.
Ms. B. Churchill
For a man who grew up painfully shy sheltered and in ill health, it was an extremely brazen and bold move for him to decide on his own, to leave a small town is sheltered existence and his mommy and go to New York City the art Mecca. The audacity of such a move is extraordinary to see in the least. The man’s self-confidence was impeccable or maybe he was“ to dumb“ to know how scared he should’ve been! Lol. But of such a moves legends are born. He deserves his place in history
I give him points for his audacity never for his artwork Which I feel is terrible
He took his mother with him to New York City later and lived with her. She also was an artist and published some of her works in books and more. She didn’t go out.
Sometimes you just have to let others be the way they are
That’s such a wise thing most people aren’t willing to let people be who they are. Apparently Andy was and I think it might have been due to the way he was brought up being an outsider at all. Most people who grow up isolated shy and introspective generally become adults who are more compassionate and tolerant of people letting them be who they are instead of frantically trying to categorize or pigeonhole themIt’s a type of wisdom that most Introverts seem to have. Especially artistic ones like Andy
Where's Waldemar?
@9:02 Notice the mushroom in the center of the table on the painting of the last supper 👀 Flesh of the gods 🍄
Andy was prophetic in that he predicted in the future, “ “everyone” Would be famous for 15 minutes. I’m writing this in 2023 where average Joe’s and janes Has become superstars on the Internet platforms Of TH-cam, tick-tock, and other various online platforms. Celebrity also included politicians, podcast hosts, talk show hosts an interviewers Even in some cases criminals and people outside of the system so to speak
You are right on about that. Amazing.
Nice family story. Not everything was told here.
Always nice to see something new about Andy. But in a 56 minutes doc, having the first 18 minutes about his life before going to New York is a bit excessive. And the rest suffers from that.
I went all throughout the Warhol museum and only saw one piece I thought was good. It was a bird in flight. Everything else was unfinished or I’ve seen a million times. But why is so much of his art unfinished? Like he just stopped and went to something else.
Objectively, I don't see the value in his work unless it is a mirror of society. Having lived through the time, I can easily point to examples of art commentators of the time who didn't want to appear "uncool" and so praised him. I'm officially nuetral. A mirror would have sufficed.
I think the value is that he showed that mundane and common every day objects can be art. A can of soup, a banana, a typewriter, an egg beater, a bubble gum wrapper. And that it can be simple and bold. Art doesn’t have to be a beautiful flower or landscape, a bowl of fruit, a bird, or something else you want to memorialize. It can be a simple soup can.
But sometimes a soup can is just a soup can. The idea that mundane things can be art isn't new and mostly relies on the attitude of the viewer. As I said, I'm pretty meh about his work.
@@obrtre2 i am pretty meh about his work too and not a fan. But if you are asking what he brought to art world that is innovative and new, that was it. Of course, everyone does it now, but back then it was innovative.
I am not a fan of Pollock or even Picasso. But Pollock introduced splatter type artwork, and Picasso pioneered cubism.
So while I am not a fan of Warhol’s work, I appreciate what he brought to the overall art genre. Of course his biggest contribution to the art world was the “Pop Art” movement. But I appreciate this other part more, as I am not the biggest fan of “Pop Art”
His images are often gorgeous
@@bunnygirl2448 That is simply not true. Marcel Duchamp had displayed the fountain in 1917 which was 11 years prior to even the brith of Andy. The idea of commodity in Art existed long before him. What he did was take the satire and irony that previous artists recognized as such and sold it as if it was fine art. Reproduction was also popular since the Renaissance in DaVinci's studio. The breakthrough he made in the art world was simply showing gallerists and elitists that consumers would buy whatever they said was good. Those are facts but my opinion (subjective) is that he represents the transformation of Fine Art into a lackluster mass produced and watered down dying landscape but what do I an artist living in the wasteland of his "revolutionary work" know.
I gotta wonder if the executives at Campbell Soup company offered him some kind of commission or Stock options or some type of compensation for all the monumentally free advertising he gave them. Or did they try to tie him up in court For plagiarizing their image without their consent.
Seems to have left a whole lot out.
Yes Andy made a lot of profit from stealing other artist’s images, mainly photographers. He was sued several times, and the lawsuits continue.
Many would consider him a creative deviant, and on the far right of odd.
WHY did this production use Greek chant in the early section describing Warhol's childhood church? That church would have used the Old Slavonic language with a chant particular to the people of the region from whence Warhol's family came - so sad this production team can't get this detailing down - it's just inaccurate!
Maybe it's just all Greek to them.
Pure AW, ALL SURFACE, no intrinsic content. You project onto it all the meaning it has.
Ow well. It not all that bad. If you did not point out that mistake. Most of us wouldn’t know, and I don’t think they deserve so much scrutiny, it’s still one of the best documentaries about Andy.
EPIPHANY moMent. 💋
This is a decent documentary but it is so frustrating how quickly facts altar. He did not die of a heart attack. It may be simpler to say... But he died of congestive heart failure after a routine procedure to remove his gallbladder because of hospital negligence. He drowned on the iv fluids in his sleep.
😀
"Soupy is soupy because it's souped up with soupiness."

Impartial fact checkers say..."True!"
That's an Orthodox church.
he was more slovak then americen, thats why he seemed strange
He was kinda freaky..I mean he kinda freaked me out.
which came first....andy warhol or semiotics? answer: the egg, obviously
I think you meant “To get to the other side”
The ego
It was CZECHOSLOVAKIA back then.
This guy is so brazen that he walks around with a freaking cardboard box full of his drawings to show industry people. Can you imagine someone doing that today? You need a portfolio at the very least. With things that lax As far as standards go back in the 50s what was he just that awesomely freakishly good that people were Willing to overlook it
7:30 цю церкву не називають вiзантiйсько-католицька. Правильно греко-католицька чи церква унiї
Is it just me or am I the only one who doesn’t consider Andy’s famous Marilyn Monroe painting a painting. From what I understand it’s a silk screen based on a high contrasting photograph taken To emphasize the dark shadows so that it could be properly screen. It’s not like he sat down and did an artistic rendering with his own two hands from beginning to end he manipulated a photo in a way it could be Silk screened. Since the work is based on a photo that someone else took I’m really surprised that charges of Plagiarism We’re never filed against him By the original photographer who took that photo.
Matter of fact, looking at his drawings especially the work you did for the fashion magazines, I really don’t see the attraction. Can somebody please explain it to me? I’m being sincere this goes beyond simple jealousy. I just generally don’t see the appeal of his work. It looks infantile like something thatA person in junior high school drawer in the back of his notebook. How in the world did he enthrall the editors of the top fashion magazines in New York? I’d love to know what people were submitting as far as other artists back then at least I’ll be able to form a comparison
The lady narrating " documentary " needs to do her research before making the video. Miss leading information
B,S
euro people are talking about an American ( New York) artist. mmmm...yeah right. okay, whatever you say. LoL.
Американські англійці ховорять про американського українця/русина:😑
Можливо про нього иожуть говорити тільки прихожани американської русинської греко-католицької церкви?
Never understood how you can take someone else's design, such as a can of soup that some marketing apprentice probably spent weeks altering the look of, and then call it unique and art. Warhol was a joke and popularized by idiots who thought he was some break thru
Incense is not based on "heaven on earth" incense in rituals are burnt offerings..... Get people who do the rituals to explain them, not random fanily members
Andy was of Ukrainian-Ruthenian ethnicity
AND,???????!!!!
Not Ukrainian. His family and Rusyns from Slovakia do not identify as Ukrainian.
Ну так, лемківський субетнос. Прикро, що не уточнили, але це відео має мало декалей-фактів і більше відходить на синонімічні фрази
@@Sam-pl1wtрусини це стара назва українського етносу. Лемки -один з українських субетносів. Ви можете просто знайти будь якого русина з діаспори і спитати яка країна є батьківщиною його етносу.
@@Sam-pl1wtбо вони політичні словаки. Від цього русини, руснаки, рутенці, українці, тощо не перестають бути назвами одного й того ж етносу. Лемки Польщі, України та Словадчини залишаються українським субетносом не залежно від проживання
So many false prophets lol
B.S. I've looked at his art(?) since it was published and until today never thought Marilyn was supposed to be an Russian icon! It's the old saying 'If someone says so then it's so'! I say B.S.! I've painted better but no body has 'discovered' me! And these 'people' will tell you Norman Rockwell was not an artist! But can they paint like Rockwell? Never happen!
One thing that they didn't mition here is that he was an openly gay man.
Perhaps that wasn't relevant? Compartmentalising people?
Єдине? 😂 тут тонна фактів не згадується(навіть згадки про те, що він лемко).
OMGosh, he was a drugie who couldn't paint.
Warhol was a phony a
carnival barker
Andy Warhol is AI.
It’s the AI presenter again, can’t listen to her.
warhol - guggenheim - picasso -- the emperor's new clothes
Yes he was a fake
Warhol was a fraud and joke. The ultimate cynic.

I don't feel anything whatsoever.
Don’t find him interesting at all. He didn’t create art, just recycled trash and trash “superstars for fifteen minutes of fame”. A concept he didn’t come up with in the first place.
Навіть, якщо так ви не можете заперечувати його геніальність, як маркетолога
I think he was a lousy fine artist (he was a very good commercial artist) but I have been studying him because he actually was ahead of the curve on so many things, plus being just about the weirdest guy who ever lived. I think that the things that he taught me were that popular art is relevant art, and popular art that is popular enough for people to pay for it is very relevant art LOL. Also that you have to sell the artist, not just the art. For him and people like Banksy, that's most of what they actually do sell, their name. Warhol didn't even make most of the art he signed. The one thing that AI can never replace, even though it may one day replace most art gruntwork like commercial art or comic art or movie art. There is only one of each of us, however. It can't take your name. So while I think his approach to art was atrocious, his approach to the art business and also thinking about certain aspects of art was extremely good. He just made art without beauty or humanity or sometimes without even being personally involved himself, which apparently if nothing else is good business.
You covered Rembrandt, Caravagio, Titian, etc and now you did Picasso and this joker. What's happening with this channel? Are you so desperate for views??
The world isn't going to cater to your limited view. Maybe grow up a little and just skip things you don't care for.
Yeah, not even a real artist.
@@Bowie. yet you took the time to reply to my comment and share your opinion, exactly like I did. So maybe don't give unsolicited advice, especially when you can't lead by example you hypocrite.
What are you talking about? Or Picasso and Warhol aren't artists?
@@pierrebougreau9009 ✌️Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Please delete the part about calling him a prophet. He is not.Prophets were sent down by God to guide people. Not to be used as shown here
I dont like Andy Warhol and he personality, but he did som crusial art in arthistory.
Bullshit. He did philosophy, not art.
@@chopin65 He was a very bad philosopher then., and not to compare to any significant know philosopher. He made art, and was very good at " reading" the terms of the time he was living in, and turn it into art.
@@johnkrogh5532 By stealing others Photos and adding color...
He was a terrible artist. Pass.
His art was making fun of the art world
@@rockets4kids Yeah, because he couldn't do it himself. Now he got some critics to say: "Look at Andy, he is making art on things everyone knows." And then people say: "Oh, yeah. Right on! Anything can be art. Just call it art, and the it is art" wrong. It was a total act of vengeance. Not art, but boring, soulless mass reproduction, which is something you can buy at a grocery store, and not put up with his pretentious sneering. So, no. It was a huge fail.
@@chopin65 Sounds more like you are describing Duchamp there.
@@rockets4kids Interesting. Not intentionally. But that man was a rotten artist too.
@@chopin65 You can barely articulate. I don't think anyone cares about your opinion on art...
I do not see anything greatness in this mans life, he does not seek any truth. His god is not a god as the god would have only one name, and that would be yud hey vav hey the true god with his only name in the Hebrew language. No translation is allowed out of Hebrew.
Don't speak where you don't understand
@@lukehauser1182 👍👏👏👏
Why did you even bother to watch this?
You obviously have disdain for him.
What a superfluous thing to say.
@@tomvalveede6808 👏👍👏
You don’t see it because you’re too busy feeling superior. But who are you?
Andy invented a new style of portraiture whose use continues. Few, in history, can make such a claim.
He was worth 600,000,000 when he died.
What have you done?
"HE", DEMONSTRATED HOW "GULIABLE", THE "ART WORLD",,,,IS !,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WHEN IT COMES TO $$$$$ ANYTHING GOES !
He had tremendous talent, but I was never impressed with his ultra modern pieces...
