    Warhol, peintre démocrate ?

    November 13, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Andy Warhol est sans doute le peintre qui symbolise le plus l’art américain aux yeux des Européens. Aujourd’hui Barack Obama est devenu le symbole de l’Amérique contemporaine. Comment s’empêcher de leur trouver des points communs ? Obama, président démocrate tout juste réélu, proche du peuple et issu des minorités sociales. Warhol, fils d’émigrés d’Europe de l’est, maladif et isolé par la société étant enfant. Leurs origines sociales ne leur promettaient pas forcément un bel avenir, mais tous deux sont parvenus à incarner le rêve américain. Warhol possède deux facettes qui auraient sans doute fait de lui le « peintre officiel » de la victoire d’Obama. Avec ses boîtes de soupe pas chère, ses…

    Warhol, un estratega de la imagen

    October 16, 2012 / 0 Comments

    ¿Qué tienen en común Miguel Ángel, Rafael, Marcel Duchamp, Hopper, Alberto Durero, Leonardo da Vinci, Alphonse Mucha, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Velázquez, Renoir y J. M. W. Turner, entre otros? Todos ellos han sido clasificados como «el artista más influyente» de un período histórico, de un movimiento, de un grupo artístico, de un país… No obstante, parece que ya se han cubierto todas las categorías posibles y los genios revolucionarios pululan de tal forma que cada vez se deben acotar más los radios de influencia. Así, la nueva exposición del MET, «Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years», nos plantea la pregunta de si Andy Warhol fue el artista más influyente del último…

    Fifteen Minutes of Fame

    October 16, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Andy Warhol is easily one of the most interesting people to have ever lived. I say this having known next to nothing about him other than his over-exposed, colourful reproductions of 1960s-1980s popular culture, all of which I found excessive, superficial, and ridiculous, up until two hours ago. But wasn’t that essentially his intention, to explore popular culture? Spending most of his time at home as a young child and teenager, Warhol listened to the radio (and the adverts) and collected photos of film stars; he was greatly influenced by the growing popular culture of the 1950s. Starting his career as a commercial illustrator should come as no surprise to…

    We’re all living in America, America is wunderbar…

    August 14, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Amerika galt lange Zeit als das Land,in dem Träume wahr werden. Doch ist das heute noch genauso? Wofür stehen die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika heute? Was verbinden wir mit Amerika? „We’re all living in America, Coca-Cola, Wonderbra, We’re all living in America“ lautet der Refrain des von der deutschen Rockband Rammstein 2004 herausgebrachtenSongs Amerika. An anderer Stelle wird der Refrain durch „Coca-Cola, sometimes WAR, We’re all living in America, America is wunderbar“ variiert. Im Songtext heißt es dann: „Lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren, […] Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus, […], und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss, weiß noch nicht, dass er tanzen muss!“. Es sind sowohl die banalen…

    Libertadamente Gaultier

    July 31, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Todos hemos oído alguna vez ese apelativo un tanto raído de «L’enfant terrible de la moda» que se utiliza con frecuencia para calificar a un sinnúmero de modelos y diseñadores —mujeres ellas, hombres ellos, salvo la honrosa excepción de Vivienne Westwood—, especialmente a los segundos. La frasecilla no atiende al decoro y habla sin acatamiento del réprobo John Galliano, del atribulado Alexander McQueen, del guipuzcoano Ion Fiz, del talentoso Esteban Cortázar, de mi paisano David Delfín, de Christian «L’enfant-Roi» Deslauriers, del renovador Marc Jacobs o, cómo no, del francés Jean Paul Gaultier. Precisamente a este último le ha dedicado una exposición el de Young de San Francisco. «The Fashion World…
