I really like screen printing, especially the larger screens

Learning more about his influence

[@yanetorres5100]

Comienza a trabajar con una demanda como nunca antes en su casa como resultado de que se intensificara la producción. En enero de 1963, se mudó al estudio del socio de su casa adosada, ya no es lo suficientemente grande para acomodar sus pinturas más grandes, en el tercer piso de una estación de bomberos de ladrillo rojo abandonada, a unas pocas cuadras de distancia en East 87th Street. En junio para aumentar aún más la producción, contrató a un nuevo asistente, un estudiante universitario de 20 años del Bronx llamado Gerard Malanga, que había aprendido a serigrafiar unos años antes trabajando para un fabricante de corbatas. Cuanto más miras el trabajo de Warhol más se ve lo constante, lo involucrado que estaba en el estudio, lo vemos tomando serias decisiones en el estudio como una pintura conduce a otra pintura. Una serie de ideas y obtienes una especie de lógica que desarrolla en el estudio, un intenso compromiso de un artista comprometido sofisticado y reflexivo. Para los de habla hispana una humilde traducción. Saludos !!

He did what nobody was thinking on doing

У меня от такой печати давление поднялось 😊

What I wanna know is how he got a screen that big

[@edwardrichardson8254]

He sent whatever photograph he liked to a commercial silkscreen maker with a note as to the desired dimensions of the screen and the number of colors to be printed. They exposed it, prepped the screen for printing, then delivered it to him in NYC. Remember, this is a commercial process that had been in place for half-a-century before he starts doing it. He was sued at least once I know of by a woman who took the photo of the flowers he silkscreened, they settled out of court.

[@punchthedog]

Can you explain to me why silkscreen printing like this, and collage works like those of Robert Rauschenberg are considered proper art, yet today, art created digitally and printed is somehow considered cheating. My question is not a criticism of any artist of method.

[@cherisseivancich9389]

You fail to declare who has established the opinion of your position, and how it has been established. If some mystery person considers one form of art "cheating", then that is merely their subjective opinion, and if you really want an explanation of said opinion, that is the only person who can provide you with it.

[@tripleaaa4409]

punchthedog whoever says that are fucking idiots. Luckily I’ve never heard anyone say that.

[@jessewaughcom]

All art is cheating because it’s an illusion. Who cares? Even abstract works are still made of paint or stone or ceramic, etc. - as opposed to whatever sublime thing they ostensibly represent. The question we’re facing now is: what is the purpose of art? For me, it’s Beauty - Pulchrism. As for financial value, it’s simply about scarcity. Digital art, photography and video have zero scarcity and therefore may never have serious financial value in the eyes of most people. That’s why I think handmade art may retain some financial value. But we’ll see. The art market is a bubble ready to pop, and the art establishment is a dying dinosaur being consumed by the new dynamics of the internet.

[@restpeaceundead]

Your right, it takes all kinds. Warhol made a living off the working class idiots

[@bakersakter]

Lol nobody thinks this is “proper art”

[@GhettoGoogle19]

He did the impossible

[@smusich]

Why didn't he use a table?

[@fromthepeanutgallery1084]

Now that must be the stupidest question ever asked of Andy Warhol.

[@GohOnLeeds]

Tables cause vibrations. Floors are more solid.

[@KpxUrz5745]

Really excellent question. I witnessed these poor printing methods first hand.

[@MrOyenn]

Rare.. hahha

[@chefcurry2.018]

Alors ça fait le dm d anglais?mdr

[@lounesn6859]

Mdrrrrr 2nd 1 😂😂

[@KpxUrz5745]

I've done some screen printing for Warhol. Of course he was not around. To my utter surprise, the method used was as shown here, to print directly upon the floor and without particular care to ensure a flat printing surface which is of course required for proper controlled screen printing. People can admire these prints if they wish, but I found it to be extremely unprofessional, and I witnessed quite a lack of oversight to produce quality repeatable results. The methods are very uncontrolled at haphazard, at best.

OMG I HAD TO MUTE THAT CHICKS VOICE!!! so ANNOYING!
