Andy Warhol made “Marilyn Diptych” in 1962, right after Marilyn Monroe’s death. By the 1960s Marilyn’s film career as a sex symbol was all but over. Warhol would effectively immortalize Marilyn as the sex symbol of the 20th century. The seductive blonde Marilyn with the heavy-lidded eyes and parted lips is frozen in time. She is transformed into the personification of the allure and glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Marilyn would make Warhol a household name, and Warhol would make Marilyn an icon.
Marilyn Diptych is perhaps his greatest canvas, bringing together celebrity, death and exposure. It is both a warning and a love letter to America. Warhol, who is often criticised as vacuous or superficial, produced art, that is profoundly subversive and quite simply a perfect mirror of our times.
Andy Warhol and Marilyn Monroe were both the embodiment of the American dream. They also, both projected a vacant persona that made sure no-body knew the real person behind the mask.

Pop art is literally just art for rich people. I work on park avenue… trust me. They just see the “art” as a commodity to appreciate in value-something that can trade for worth. Bc pop art is total 💩. What is so creative or emotional about a 400lb resin lollipop… or a tank with a shark in it..or Brillo boxes. It’s just stupid. No wonder the rich take all that “art” for themselves. You wouldn’t see a blue collar labor worker coming home from the construction site.. just admiring his 400lb resin lollipop…yeah, no. Eff pop “art” 🥱👎🏿

[@EyeLean5280]

@@kateapple1 Pop art's just for rich people? Nonsense. I have lots of reproductions of Warhol and other artists. The fact that there are innumerable such posters and postcards out in the world on my wall and those of others fits in exactly with the message of pop art. In fact, they're philosophically better than the originals and almost anybody can afford them. Your seething resentment is all about * you * and says nothing about the art, which simply happens not to be to your taste. Newsflash: not all art has to be made to your personal taste, sweetie, and choosing to project your fury onto it solves none of your problems, which appear to be profound.

Thank you, I never appreciated Warhol at all. Never got it. You opened up an interest I had long ago put aside.

It cracks me up how Andy answers "no" and "yes" to the trite art questions to show how either answer can work because the questions are so stupid, thereby totally skewering pretense.

[@silasfrisenette9226]

The answers seemed very deliberate 😊 When asked about the public's reception, he couldn't well describe the popular opinion as wrong - the public's opinion would be right no matter what, that (to me) is the point of popart - it doesn't matter if it is ordinary, boring, commercial. That's what popart is trying to depict. Consumerism - and how many people are thrilled about consumerism, when faced with the concept? Very few, I would argue. Same goes for his answer to the "is popart getting repetitive" question - it IS getting repetitive, and that's the point.

[@coachhousechambers2047]

It was interesting that you went with Marilyn as representative of Warhol rather than the soup cans. I'm glad you did though. I didn't know about his religious background; but it all makes so much sense now. The cult of celebrity has replaced religion perhaps for many people; and of course we now talk about icons and things being iconic having divorced the terms from their original meanings. So I love how you tied that back together. I wonder now about his art around everyday objects rather than celebs. Is he making the same point about consumerism as religion? What do his choices represent? He went for everyday utilitarian items rather than say Veblen goods. Is that significant? People may obsess over a Porsche or even an iPhone in an almost devotional way; but Brillo pads? Hmm. Once again you've really got me thinking! Thank you for doing these.

[@GreatArtExplained]

I do think that he came from the commercial world (advertising) and the design of everyday objects was more appealing. More direct. He said he actually really did eat Campbell's soup every day but I don't believe that. I think, unlike British pop art, American pop art was more critical of consumerism. Warhol though, was more interested in the democratising effect of mass brands. He loved the idea that no matter how rich or poor you were, everybody essentially bought the same product. His quote on coca-cola being the same whether you are Liz Taylor or the average man is still true. Thanks so much for commenting. And thanks once again for watching!

[@TheInkPitOx]

Would like to see the cans

[@0HARE]

@@TheInkPitOx The Campbell’s soup cans painting is at Northpark Mall in Dallas, TX, and has been since at least 1965. Raymond Nasher, a commercial property developer, and his wife Nancy, were major art collectors. When Raymond built Northpark Mall in Dallas in the 1960s, he filled it with much of his vast art collection. I used to bicycle past his house in Dallas’ Highland Park neighborhood, and marvel at all the beautiful sculptures spread out on the lawn. Years later, Raymond and Patsy Nasher built the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas’ Arts District, and donated it to the City Of Dallas, along with his entire sculpture collection.

[@frankshrew2852]

@@GreatArtExplained Andy Warhol had Aspergers. Him eating Campbells soup every day wouldn’t be surprising, but I understand that that type of behaviour is difficult for neurotypicals to believe. It may not have literally been everyday but I doubt that he’d ever grown tired of the taste, no matter how often he ate it. With the soup cans he seemed to convey subtle impressions that one gets from consumerism. The perfect design of the can, and the company sentiment, are juxtaposed with the hollowness of its inanimate nature. It’s the universality of the singular, it’s quite a complex yet simple piece that’s interpretation depends on the viewer’s openness to experience as well as inner depth.

[@annario9887]

Love all of your videos, but this one, in particular, is really the epitome of your craft. You take careful measures to explain both the art & artist in a detailed but still concise way- which is hard enough- but also manage to explain both popular opinions and other ways of thinking. Your videos allow anyone, through all levels of art knowledge to access and enjoy your content. This is all done without the inclusion of too much personal opinion; you don't rave about every artist but do show an appreciation for their talent. Such a brilliant job, as usual!

[@weekendthreat5576]

I've been binge watching your channel over the past week and just wanted to add another "thank you" as so many others have been doing. The power of art is so easily lost when you can only see it through a screen. Your explanations about not only the piece itself but the context for the piece are so well done and fascinating. I can't wait to see more and hope your channel continues to grow

[@thuhuong8838]

I don’t know much about Warhol, but this make me look at him differently. I alway has a stereotype vision of a typical gallery businessman. But the fact that knowing Warhol is a Christian, working at soup kitchen, a mother boy, shatter that stereotype. The type of celebrity icon image that he built contrast heavily with his daily life. That same type of celebrity icon image we still associate with a avant gard artist today.

[@tenjenk]

hmm he always came off as a narcicist to me and abused others for his own ends, felt like it came across into his art as well. But theres value in seeing the artistic creations of a jerk. Picasso wasn't a pleasant person either.

[@jessieadair]

I went from no real knowledge, interest or understanding of Warhol to feeling a mix of compassion, respect and admiration; he's an interesting and complex man worth knowing about. All of that in 15 minutes no less. I *love* learning. *THANK YOU* for making it interesting!

[@jshurvell]

[@adrianghandtchi1562]

I didn’t know this religious side of Andy, that he hid it when everyone I’ve met who is devout is so openly telling everyone about it, it’s quite refreshing to see religion as a personal and private heaven.

[@justinstrong8189]

How would you know if there were deeply devout people whom you've met that practice privately? You wouldn't...

[@GradyPhilpott]

Religious ostentation always hides a darker, more authentic, side.

[@alveolate]

yet it is not just the private nature of his religious practice... it was the direct contrast between his public life and his private life. orthodox catholics are very much against ostentation, but also against vanity and greed, 2 of the deadly sins, which his high profile celebrity artist life would've implied. there is probably a ton more to go into just comparing his religiosity to his art, but on face value the two are in utter conflict. i wonder how he struggled with being homosexual too, as a devout (if hidden) catholic. i wonder how his mother and his priest would've advised him.

[@toria01]

Someone devout to their faith would be so enveloped in it that they couldn't help but share it. It's the same with anything else that is a central piece in one's life. Or it should be.

[@gracedelreal4955]

@@alveolate he claimed to be a virgin, but there's a lot of doubt on that, I believe I read a Dr claimed to have treated him for an std in the 50's. Catholic teaching instructs those with homosexual tendency to remain celibate. Of course, we all sin, everyone has their own temptations and cross to bear.

Having just discovered your channel, I'm bingeing on it. Your explanation of Warhol is terrific. As a side note, I was working in advertising in the '80's for a manufacturer of wood desks, and we approached Warhol to endorse our product.

@@vaiapatta8313 Orthodox is not only the name of a christian church or community. it is also a religious term. before I go into the details of what orthodox within a catholic church can mean - in context of what was said in the video, it is rather more about the fact, that the orthodox church is seen as a 'sister'-church for catholics. contrary to reformed churches (often called protestant church. so it is ok for a catholic to own and admire icons from orthodox church. but don't ask, what they think about all the protestant churches.. no a diletant tries to add to the word orthodox - orthodox means, close to the ....(sorry for my bad english. here I don't know the best fitting word - something like the commonly acknowledged believe - so to say, the directiv of the head of the church - which includes historic 'men' of a church. e.g. what Thomas Aquinus or Augustinus said and wrote is orthodox. When people believe the opposite or e.b. some are interested in forms and version of panentheism - at lest in the catholic church that means, you are not orthodox. the opposite word is - hetereodox.)

I loved your description of Warhol’s love of the stars of Hollywood Golden Age as a young boy in working class Pittsburg. Very interesting learning about his private devotion to the Catholic Church throughout his life. Andy Warhol immortalising Marilyn in that work was genius and very insightful of him (whether he knew it or not) as she remains completely relevant today. All ages know who she is, new books are written about her consistently, films are made about her (though I do question an actress’s ability’s to play her) a great documentary called Love, Marilyn is worth a watch if you’re interested. She died so young, tragically and in mysterious circumstances so her allure and mystic remain. Ironically it was Jackie Kennedy who said “She will go on eternally” and she has.

What I really like about your videos is that not only you explain particular pieces of art, but that you say so much about the historical context in which it was created. This provides so much depth to what you're saying. I feel like this channel is more a way of exploring society, culture and the world itself. But thinking about it, isn't art exactly that, a way of expressing how one sees the world?
