"too many guys think i'm a concept, or i complete them, or i'm going to make them alive. But i'm just a fucked up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours."
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot,
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

| The quickness and duplicity of the development of film and photography led to the incapability for the infusion of timelessness into modern artwork. This resulted in the production of pieces that were for the consumption of the masses instead of contemplation by the few resulting in art being stripped of its classical significance. Warhol therein used the system from the inside out, using the rules of mass production to make the point of classical artwork. He depicted, through the depersonalizaion, the reality that was being created by modern society's developments in visual communications. Warhol eliminates all classical aesthetics and typical artist biases by revealing the content in its most isolated and rare form. These pictures become criticism as soon as they are received into the machinery of the art market and thus accepted by society as viable artworks. Only a mirror held up without comment reflects society's ills- therein lies the criticism.
omg. this paper is going to kill me -- but its kind of fun. | | |
