The pop concept, everyday things become artworks. We want it hip, hot, fresh, right off the grill, spicy, the day after Today!Īnd his art was like that. They may pretend they do, but actually- Noooooo. It’s all about the NEW, because face it people don’t really dig the old. And that’s what Warhol’s book gives us – new ideas, a new way of looking at everyday things. But you will get something you didn’t have before. Put the penny in and you don’t know what you will get. Like one of those old school bubble gum machines with prizes mixed in with multi colored gum balls. His book, a masterpiece of ingenious witticisms, logic, and unique observations, is a real X-Ray into Andy Warhol’s Head.
Right? Nothing is THAT important, that serious! Isn’t it all kind of blown up from that deflated balloon reality where it all begins? Light hearted, whimsical, fun, POP! The lofty, uber pretentious days can be historically interesting but in real time also a colossal drag!!! So fast forward to Today Speak, we can translate Andy’s “so what?” Into “whatever”. He goes on to say that he has no idea how he survived before he learned that trick, but that once he got it he never forgot. “I’m a success, but I’m still alone.” So what? It’ s pretty radical in it’s simplicity, and it’s an awesome freeing message!Īndy says ” sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, “So What?” In “The Philosophy of Andy Warhol”, Warhol, discusses in a chapter entitled, Time, his “So What” theory.
