Literature Frayda Feldman and Jörg Schellmann 95 Catalogue Essay MONDAY, March 5, 1984 I read the book about Mrs. Chairman Mao called WHITE BONED DEMON and I decided to do paintings of her. It was great, about how she went from prostitute to Chairman Mao's wife. But I mean, how this guy wrote this stuff I dont know. I mean, going back to individual days in her childhood and remembering if she was happy or sad. I mean, they dont even know what happened to her mother, let alone if she was unhappy on Tuesday in May 1937! The Mrs Mao book didn't have any pictures in it so now I have to find some. The Andy Warhol Diaries, edited by Pat hackett, p. 556 Read More Artist Bio Andy Warhol American • 1928 - 1987 A seminal figure in the Pop Art movement of the early 1960s, Andy Warhol's paintings and screenprints are iconic beyond the scope of Art History, having become universal signifiers of an age. An early career in commercial illustration led to Warhol's appropriation of imagery from American popular culture and insistent concern with the superficial wonder of permanent commodification that yielded a synthesis of word and image, of art and the everyday. Warhol's obsession with creating slick, seemingly mass-produced artworks led him towards the commercial technique of screenprinting, which allowed him to produce large editions of his painted subjects. The clean, mechanical surface and perfect registration of the screenprinting process afforded Warhol a revolutionary absence of authorship that was crucial to the Pop Art manifesto. View More Works
