What makes an artwork iconic?

[@JayBenedictBrown]

This piece’s appeal is pretty straightforward…two gorgeous, idealized human beings in a mysterious scene. And the color palette is ridiculously vibrant.

I've just watched this while sitting in my home here in San Francisco (covid-19 lockdown) -- and THANK YOU for this! It's really wonderful. I'm a native of San Francisco and I love Scotland. I have been visiting frequently (since 1983!) and think Scotland's museums are so good -- from the National Museum of Scotland, National, Portrait and Modern Art ones in Edinburgh to Kelvingrow, Aberdeen, Perth. And this website is really excellent (and I create them for a living so -- kudos!)

I was intereated by the title and thumb nail, but knew I needed to watch this when I found out it was by you guys. Loved the video! Fantastic essay. Educational, informative, interesting, and engaging. I've always been fascinated by pop art, but this made it even cooler. Look forward to watching more of your content!

Pop Art is generally so dynamic and colorful that it will always get a response from rhe spectator, I guess.

Appropriation in visual art is equivalent to sampling in music, i think..

[@hazels9425]

Great analogy

[@keldrickdunn6430]

I do both, painting and making sample-based music, and I can confirm that both desires come from the same place

[@comontoshi]

Media determines the “importance” of objects and events . . . i.e. controversy. 😎
