Anyone familiar with his work, knows about his copy and replicate style with paintings like the soup cans and with Marilyn Monroe.
For some stupid reason, for decades I thought his work was an indictment of over consumption and exploitation. NOPE, turned out he simply painted things he liked and created and popularized a new style.
Because I was young, dumb and full of , well you know. I look back at it now, and what happened was I mistook his critics criticism of popularizing the mundane as being Andy's intent being an indictment of over commercialization. Today, I just got corrected by a friend and google about the intent of his work.
You learn something new every day.
As an aside, to open this up to painting in general.
Why are people into Picasso or Jackson Pollock?
And does anyone else besides me like Seurat?
