Module 7 Discussion
Photo
Silkscreen and Andy Warhol
Andy
Warhol, Marilyn Diptych, photo silkscreen on canvas, 1962
Andy Warhol
is one of the best known artists to have used the photo silkscreen medium on a
wide scale. When you look at Marilyn Diptych, reproduced above, you will notice
there are many “imperfections” in the piece, such as misregistered colors,
areas that have received too much or too little ink, etc. Yet Andy Warhol was a
consummate draftsman; before becoming a fine artist, he had won multiple awards
for his ad designs and was the highest paid commercial artist in New York City.
It is safe to assume that these “imperfections” are intentional and designed to
add to the piece’s content.
Warhol
created Marilyn Diptych in the weeks after her death. In many ways, it is a
response to her death. However, Marilyn Diptych suggests a much different
reaction to her death than Audrey Flack’s Marilyn. (Audrey Flack’s Marilyn was
the painting on for “Decoding Iconography” pg13.)
Carefully
observe the Warhol’s stylistic choices in this piece. Why do you think he
wanted Marilyn Diptych to look this way? What is Warhol trying to say about
Marilyn Monroe, society, or himself via the use of formal elements and design
principles? Be sure to back up your response. (Hint: Use the index in the back
of your textbook to locate and read the passages on Andy Warhol’s work. They may
help stimulate your ideas.)
Your
initial posting is due Wednesday, at midnight.
