This philosophy is seen in Warhol’s work, with subject matter ranging from Brillo boxes to Cans of Campbells soup and Banana’s as hyper colourful prints. Pioneer of pop Art, Andy Warhol adopts a similar stance of using the mundane as art. “See something as art requires something the eye cannot descry – An atmosphere of artistic theory, a knowledge of the history of art an artworld.” (Meskin and Feagin, Aesthetics: A Comprehensive Anthology)ĭuchamp’s work ‘Fountain’ from 1917 – The one on display in the Tate Modern, London is a replica made in 1964 during pop art period.
A philosopher to note Arthur Danto’s has an aiding definition. This idea that an Artist or critic declares what an” artwork” is has now generally accepted by the artistic community. With ‘Fountain’ Duchamp claimed a new movement “ready-made” which is effectively is any object of aesthetic interest that ‘The Artist’ sees as an art piece, which helps convey the message intended. Duchamp was among the first to challenge “What is art?” that many aesthetic philosophers throughout the ages have not quite adequality achieved. Duchamp’s work ‘Fountain’ was met with great resistance and was initially not accepted into the gallery space. An exhibition that was advertised to accept all art submitted, provided the artist paid the entry fee. In 1917 Duchamp entered a ‘work of art’ into the ‘Society of Independent Artists’ Salon In New York. Over 100 years ago the reshaping of what we know to be Art Now was presented in the shape of a Urinal. You get to two main characters: Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol However, what I can do for the reader is hopefully highlight a few diverging moments. The domino’s of artistic movement that make Art history cannot be condensed into a short piece, regardless of brevity. Is it all child’s play or does it have some intrinsic meaning?
INVISIBLE SCULPTURE ANDY WARHOL CRACK
The perceived Financial Ludicrous, Shredding artwork on the crack of the Gavel (The auctioneers’ Mallet), expensive bananas and the make-believe. Why you ask? Well, I thought it was funny and truly relevant at the time (2020 first lock down toilet roll crisis) Nearly had to use a leaf! I myself have bought into such Banality I spend an undisclosed amount on some Kenny Schachter branded toilet rolls. So, the public can be forgiven when they see a banana taped to the wall or a headline “man sells invisible sculpture” the latter is most recent escapade embraced by the post-pandemic art world. It’s easier to reach a level of appreciation as the skill and intricacy of these works have an undeclared respect from people of all backgrounds. Traditional paintings have a lot to marvel at. Whether it is via caption in a gallery or a textbook, or the complexity of the paintings themselves. Each of these paintings has a relatively clear rational or underlying theme laid out to us.
We ‘re normally exposed to the Baroque works of Caravaggio or Neo-classical work classified as more “academic” artworks. When we are at school, we rarely learn of Contemporary Art.
