Andy Warhol's Exhibition Painting Analysis

Decent Essays
After the visit to Andy Warhol's exhibition, I thought about how attractive popart is, because most of the pieces of work were colorful, or used the image of famous people, or fashion items. However, what it caught my attention was the "electric chair" paint, because it was unsual among all the other paintings, and Andy Warhol tried to portrayed the critique he was doing to journalism, that is, the effect of the mass media in people when it comes to importance of discussing about death penalty, because in 1962 in New York was still approved the law that allowed to take two people's life, thus, Andy Warhol tried to raise consciousness of this horrible situation that the mass media was hinder.

Later, I reflected upon the feeling that the painting mentioned before made me feel, and I thought how a simple piece of work can show many information and it triggers questioning yourself

For example, the same painting that I like from Andy Warhol's exhibition, plus the "chacal de nahueltoro" movie can work togheter showing the relevance of death penalty and the impact that it can have in someone's life, because the movie shows how a man is going to be executed for a crime he commited, nevertheless, at the end of the movie he regrets it because he understood that what he did was wrong, then, both elements, the painting and the movie, can encourage the critical thinking. In addition to this, I can teach how to express feelings or emotions, through using the speaking ability, so students would acquire vocabulary and improve their listening and speaking skills since they would also listen to the different accents of their

    My initial impression of the image is that it is a picture of a race riot copied four times and colored to look like the American flag. By changing the color of the picture Warhol might be commenting on the subject matter of the race riot by saying that it doesn’t matter that the people are black or white everyone deserves to be treated the same. Maybe Warhol feels that this picture is the best representation of America at that point in time. It is most important for Warhol to imbue this image with meaning. Warhol did that by coloring the image with the colors of the American flag.…

    Whenever I see Jackson Pollock’s White Light painting, the first thing I notice is that there’s more white/gray color over the other colors. I believe that Pollock is using tertiary colors first because I notice that there’s indeed some primary and secondary colors, but he mix them all at the end, making those tertiary colors. Also the reason that the painting looks kind of grayish is that whenever hues that are opposite of each other when mix together, they make a complementary color, which produces gray. If the gray color is lighter than dark, then the value is high. Pollock’s art piece seems to be full of lines.…

    In contrast to Andy Warhol’s fascination with fame and materialism, it is important to consider the background he came from. Born with the original name of Andrew Warhola, he was from a humble background, with Slovakian immigrant parents—a construction worker as a father and an embroiderer as a mother. When Warhol was once asked where he was from, he replied with a cryptic “I am from nowhere” with this nowhere being Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Warhol has always been private about the details and said he “never like to give my background” because he “preferred to remain a mystery” (Kattenberg, 1). Warhol does not talk about his family often.…
