Ha he isn’t nervous at all! He’s keeping his power by being vague and mysterious. This allow he’s art to speak for itsself and keeps his work majestic and objective for the viewers to judge.
@@nomad639 sorry, not autobiography. "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol". Written by him. It's confusing at first glance, but I believe that there's deeper meaning. Interesting to dive into the mind of Warhol.
The more he treated the art world with ironic distance, the more seriously they took him. The more he negged them, the more they were eating out of the palm of his hand.
Just imagine if Andy lived in our Internet era. He would be delighted with the possibilities. I can't even imagine what kind of sick amazing stuff he would do. PS I even think that he would use a bunch of social networks. Imagine stumbling on a VERY weird tiktok with random celebrities authored by Warhol. Surrealistic hah
he would be an instagrammer or youtuber. can`t you see he was posing in such a fake manner. nothing original in him. so defensive in this interview, nothing interesting to say.
Andy Didnt Like Being Around Anyone. He Was At His Truest Form By Himself. He Wouldnt Even Tell You About His Work. He Used To Throw Gallery Parties And Stand In The Corner By Himself. He Was One Of The Greatest Coquettes. Go To The Art Of Seduction.
The Velvet Underground in '66?! Absolute gold. The Beatles released Revolver, The Beach Boys released Pet Sounds, both masterpieces. But listen to what VU was doing: dark, dissonant, gorgeous, overwhelming psychedelia swirling around 2 chords, 25 years before My Bloody Valentine.
I agree except the Beatles were soulless copycat frauds, truly it shows just how gullible we are, the Beatles are up there with Jesus and flat earth theory.
Andy is aware of what “he-is-doing.” By embracing the “capitalism” of society, he suppressed his OWN feelings of creativity and expression. His choices were based on subject and color of what he saw around him. Although, I’d say subject was not a choice as much as a obvious encounter. Think of it like a geico commercial, it’s not your choice to watch it, but it’s in your face anyway. His job was to hold a mirror up to our society, nothing more complicated than that…
I agree with everything you said, but Andy was still very able to create for himself. Early on he produced amazing original works, at least to me, and I’d love to put my finger on the exact moment he moved to reproduce.
You would basically be watching one of his films. I mean,Empire was literally just 8 hours of the Empire State Building,so if he was still alive,he probably would have made something like that.
He reminds me of someone as I feel deeply familiar with this man yet he died before I even existed. Just something about him felt so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.
The attitude from back then was so witty.. I was sitting here thinking to myself why doesnt andy look at this guy and just start telling him off? Dang times have changed
He puts on too much pseudointellectal bullshit, pretension and affectation. I prefer people who can paint rich oil paintings. This movement was special but he comes off like a fake to me.
If I saw his work in person I would probably go deaf,mute and blind. His work along with Vincent Van Gogh's truly do something to me I can't verbalize.
I went to the moma in new York and they had a bunch of his and basquiats work and basically did go deaf mute and blind. I was with my theater friends. They didn’t get it 😂
@@kristina9605 You Go Girl!I am a musical/theatre/arts Multihyphenate and to say I would have been excited and emotional to see some Vincent Van Gogh and Andy Warhol would have been an understatement. I will be out there in July so I have a bucketlist of theatres,plays,museums,etc to see and experience. I have yet to see Central Park and when I do I will just cry.
I just love that as the camera is showing his 'art', the narrator had to point out that this is 'not satirical'. I've always thought that everything about Andy was satire.
I’m dumbstruck… I never understood his “art” and now I cannot understand the man. Never in my life have I consumed so much nothingness in 17 minutes… Staring at a blank wall would’ve been more mentally stimulating.
Surely you can see that his art was reflecting vacuous consumerism and repetition of these meaningless symbols, celebrity, branding, products etc. Art holds up a mirror to society. But at the same time, you’re right, it’s empty. He held up a mirror and the reflection was shallow, narcissistic and materialistic, which is Andy Warhol in a nutshell.
People think of Keith Herring as the artist who picked up where Warhol left off, seeing how he was his protégé/apprentice and all. My pick goes to a Chicago artist and outsider musician named Wesley Willis. Imagine if Andy Warhol was a 300 pound schizophrenic black man from the streets and instead of making weird videos he played simple, repetitive synth-punk songs about celebrities, fast food, pop culture, violent crime and bestiality. He had a photographic memory which allowed him to draw city-scapes down to the smallest details like license plates of passing cars, yet he had trouble remembering the lyrics to his own songs. He too gave very funny, awkward interviews th-cam.com/video/c1ToO-6Ue-U/w-d-xo.html
@@kharisbeggs3855 No, he used an at the time over the counter pill that made him complete his work faster. He didn't do cocaine. It was a different stimulant
He's speeding like crazy. That's why he keeps fidgeting with his face. He said in Popism that anyone in New York couldn't sleep from 1964 to '66 because so much was gong on in the city, and he openly said he used diet pills/ speed to keep silk-screening day & night.
Single most overrated "artist" of the 20th century....maybe ever. Clever at self promotion and a natural hustler. That was his only real gift, his ability to con the art world. 15 minutes is 14 minutes too long to waste on his pretentious act.
I saw all his movies at private late night parties at 812 Cinema on Cannery Row. It had giant pillows to lay on instead of chairs and we would all be tripping .
He wasn’t on drugs, the interview kept prodding him to respond to the rumors and opinions of other people and it was super annoying. The interviewer was trying to categorize and create the narrative for everything he did so that actually makes sense!
Only intelligent part of this interview is him being silinced as much as possible and the intervieuwer filling up the gaps with his own words where Warhol randomly agrees with whatever he is saying. In modern time you would think this guy is filled up with drugs and incapable of linking 2 braincells. Same result would happen if he didnt say so much 'UH' and answer as short as necessary. He seems very dumb, unconsious and out of mind protected/surrounded by this hypothetical smoke of "he knows what he is doing" or "mysterious and mystical" but hopefully im missing something here and this is not the case. Im open to be informed :)
3:00 "Andy Warhol's reticence about himself masks a unique sensibility. One which has helped to alter our vision of the contemporary world. He suppresses his own feelings, which comes naturally to him, but also imposes a detachment which gives his work an objective and almost surgical clarity." Banal commentary about the lowest form of creativity.
That's my fascination with him. Even reading these comments and all of the people fawning over how he "trolled" everyone and they don't see the irony at all. I think he's a fucking weirdo with almost 0 talent and that's what makes me love him more. That he did have almost no talent but somehow convinced generations that he's a "genius"; when in reality he was just a creepy dude with autism. It's a direct allegory to today with Kanye West and all of the people that think he's a misunderstood genius when really he's just a rapper with severe unchecked mental illness.
He had a talent for graphics and business, but anyone who knew him thought he was intellectually vacuous (i.e., stupid). Much of his work was thought up by assistants, and often done by them. Warhol was a cold, cruel man. He was also cheap. Workers often weren't paid or underpaid. Several had to get legal aid just to get their minimal wage back pay. A con man whose citrus colored graphics resonated with the early 60s. Btw, Warhol stopped being invited to Jackie Kennedy's annual Christmas parties because she saw through him and thought he was the dumbest person on her guest list, and everyone complained that he added nothing to the gatherings or conversation.
His special interest was fame. He was fascinated by famous people, fought hard to become famous, and made other people famous (for 15 minutes). He was also very manipulative, as an autistic person who is thriving can be (I am also autistic).
Who knows who the interviewer is. I'm sure we read about this, and his questions are great, but he should already know the answers. His movies were plain af but they are a footprint for us so many years later. They weren't meant for those who were there
" The shyest person is hiding their aggression "

The shyest person is a stranger
Warhol is just copying Bob Dylan's press relations strategy. This isn't authentic.
Yeah I'd be nervous too if I was being interviewed by Vladimir Lenin

When u find out he's actually an under cover MIB agent 🤦♂️
It’s Bill Hader
Who wasn't really gay but had trouble knowing who were men or women among his guests in the Factory.

He reminds me of someone as I feel deeply familiar with this man yet he died before I even existed. Just something about him felt so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

@@paul9478 he was a visual artist! he’d do screen printing as well as photography and film
yeah, if autistic with low IQ is a genius, yes he was a genius.
He had a unique way of seeing the world and it’s beauty as an artist and embraced popular culture even though he never thought he was a trend setter
Ever looked at an engine/gears/pulleys/belts and actually seen the beauty in it? Now, you get it! 😉

I've always thought that everything about Andy was satire.
He was very shy and cast aside by the art community in New York and so when people took an interest in him finally, he didn't have the social skills.
Hmm......
Ok so yea, that made no sense 🤨

I think it makes sense. He was an introvert and self conscious to a point of neuroticism. Perhaps even to a point of narcissism

So blasé I love it
Cannot believe Warhol was actually part of MIB monitoring all those aliens posing as artists and models!
When your soul is a fake and you're worried people will find out. He was a genius con artist.
You've hit the nail on the head there, spot on, if he says too much he'll be exposed as a charlatan and he wouldn't want that
No he was just super drugged up I think
After reading his bios I think there was real talent under a lot of posing and laziness.
"Why don't you just tell me the words and they'll just come out of my mouth." Kids, this is why you shouldn't take drugs.
I have never taken drugs and it's just called social anxiety.

What drugs was he tripping on when this interview was filmed?
People, Andy was asperger (autistic). He literally masks by exaggerating his deadpan way of speaking, that kept other people at a distance.
His special interest was fame. He was fascinated by famous people, fought hard to become famous, and made other people famous (for 15 minutes). He was also very manipulative, as an autistic person who is thriving can be (I am also autistic).
I think Andy was trained in frustrating interrogators.

He was literally just your average mental patient
