My Obsession With Warhol Episode #19
Description
How did I fall into this obsession? It really was an accident, something I never intended. When I studied Art in high school there were so many artists that fascinated me. Mainly from the modern art movement. I remembered Andy Warhol's soup cans and silkscreens; but they weren't anything special.
It wasn't until much later that I realized we had similarities that went beyond any artistic technique or style. My family was in no way similar to Mr Warhola's religious upbringing - far from it. My family is very British. What we shared is a little horrific.
What my fascination did spark for me was a kinship with Andy Warhol. I wanted to know more about his background, his life in the 60s' and 70s'. Where he discovered his eclectic style of using consumerism as a motif. Join me as we do a deeply different dive on Andy Warhol. One that feels a little bit more real than what the history books are telling you.
