Kurzbeschreibung
Die faszinierende Beziehung von Andy Warhol zur Musik und ihr Einfluss auf sein OEuvre wurde bisher noch nie so ausführlich und visuell ansprechend thematisiert wie in diesem Ausstellungskatalog. Angefangen von seinen Portraits der großen Pop-Ikonen, wie Elvis Presley, die Beatles und Rolling Stones, über die Förderung experimenteller Rockbands wie The Velvet Underground bis hin zu seinen legendären Videoclips und Filmen zieht sich die Musik wie ein roter Faden durch Warhols Gesamtwerk.
Synopsis
This catalogue accompanying an exciting new exhibition reveals the myriad ways Warhol immersed himself in the music of his time. Tracing back to Warhol's introduction to music through the musical comedies, songs and soundtracks of his youth, this book opens with Warhol's portraits of the great films stars of his childhood. As the fascinating essays collected in this volume discuss, Warhol's renowned portraits of pop music icons such as Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry and Grace Jones are just one manifestation of his interest in music. Warhol collaborated with choreographer Merce Cunningham, served as producer for the Velvet Underground, incorporated music into his films, produced video-clips, designed dozens of record albums, filmed live concerts and created multimedia spectacles.Although never a musician himself, Warhol appropriated the imagery of a pop icon for some of his most arresting and haunting self portraits.Designed to echo the music industry's most recognizable emblem - the album cover - this dynamic book includes more than 350 illustrations, offering a refreshing new way to appreciate the talent and evolution of an artist who mirrored society's ever-changing tastes and interests.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Yes! I want Andy Warhol Giant-Sized, but this is probably the next best thing! A great big book, covered in silver mylar - 10x10, it's also too heavy to lug around. Yet I was thrilled to find something with LARGE LUSH PRINTS of Andy's work. The author gives a full and thorough background on Andy's involvement in the commercial element of illustrating for the music industry. It's all very good. The best part is, of course, the paintings and prints!
Scaling through Warhol at bookstores and libraries may only give you poor copies of these same images... Which is not how they were meant to be seen. To really appreciate the graphic color and idiosyncrasy of Warhol's work, it has to be BIG. The multiple images of Elvis are like a multiple... (YOU know!)
Warhol was such a versatile creator! It's amazing to see the shifts he discovered here, working through his different styles of presentation. This book shows him at the height of his fun... Working with celebrities in the music business, how his own business evolved from doing simple line drawings for albums in the 50's, to the silkscreens of Judy Garland and Liza Minelli; a full chapter on his sponsoring of the Velvet Underground, and on to individuals (Michael Jackson and Prince) and groups like the Rolling Stones.
Hmmm... I'm disappointed to think somehow Jim Morrison and David Bowie were overlooked by Warhol. I don't understand how that happened. Here you will see lots of photos of Jagger feigning to be Morrison; ironic. Something comes through in the paintings of Jagger, using the same familiar poses we know from Morrison's photos... Only there is something not-so-sexy here. Jagger comes across as looking almost desperate, somewhat menacing and manipulative. Morrison would have been a much better subject by far! But that is by no means the fault of the artist! I think Warhol captured Jagger's soul, and seeing his paintings cannot help one from making these contrasts.
This book also includes cover illustrations for Andy's magazine, INTERVIEW. These are also dazzling - duo images of Debbie Harry, the way the colors are layered in the many various double portraits are both breathtaking and polarizing. The cover paintings (rarely seen) of adorable Michael Jackson in a suit, a mystical jewel-clad Cyndi Lauper... Plus, Warhol managed to capture Madonna's real personality in 1985. Yes, in real life her eyes are GREEN. And here she looks very Wicked - like the "Wicked" Wicked Witch - with swooping purple eyebrows and a big mole under her snooty nose.
Amazing to say the least!
