Сочинения по английскому языку:
Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol, 1928-1987, an American artist and filmmaker is
regarded as the founder of pop culture. Pop art first appeared in
Great Britain at the end of the 1950s as a reaction against the
seriousness of abstract expressionism. British and American pop
artists used images found in comic strips, soup cans, and Coke
bottles to express abstract relationships. Pop artists attempted to
combine elements of popular and high culture to destroy the
boundaries between the two.
The leader of the pop art movement and one of the most
influential artists of the late 20th century, Warhol concentrated on
the surface of things. He choose his images from the world of
commonplace objects such as dollar bills, soup cans, soft-drink
bottles, and soap-pad boxes. He both ridiculed and celebrated
American middle-class values by destroying the distinction between
popular and high culture. Monotony and repetition became — typical
of his multi-image, mass-produced paintings. For many of these, such
as the portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy, he
employed newspaper photographs. He and his assistants worked in a
large New York studio called the 'Factory.'
In the mid-1960s Warhol began making films, suppressing the
personal element in marathon essays on boredom. In The Chelsea Girls
(1966) he used techniques that differed from established methods.
With Paul Morrissey, Warhol also made the films Frankenstein and
Dracula. In 1973, Warhol first published the magazine Interview
focusing on lives of celebrities.
He died from complications following surgery. The Andy Warhol
Museum, which exhibits many of his works, opened in Pittsburgh in
1994.
