He made money from simple art people take for granted. Later in his
career, after he was shot, he used a similar pattern, creating famous celebrity
paintings that reined at the top of pop art culture. He made 100 million
dollars for a 1963 canvas titled Eight Elvises. Pablo Picasso and very few
other artists have only reached that mark.
Warhol said, “Do Everything”. He said it, and firmly stood
by it, as he created paintings, digital pieces, films, worked with rock bands,
and more. My digital project is a lot like Warhol’s “Do everything” theme. For approximately
five minutes I plan on presenting a poetry performance piece about different
issues I think are significant in America, then it will fade into a music video
related to the same topic. In my short video I will have directed, produced,
performed, and edited a project that the world could view on the web. Warhol said everything, my project is very
close to that.
It's cool that you could make a connection between your project & warhol's ideas! I feel like artists today have become multi-taskers working in different mediums...it'll be interesting to see where your project takes you in terms of "everything"!
