Iโ€™ve always felt that Warhol was engaging me in a conversation about the mundane and the magnificent. Arenโ€™t the most basic forms the most life affirming? Not Chartres, but the cow head or the Brillo box. Thatโ€™s a narrative about life at its essence, and Warhol wanted to tell me about it, and include a lot of jokes to keep me listening. Heโ€™s telling a story alright, but itโ€™s different from the one Michelangelo told me. And as you say, thatโ€™s OK.

Sorry about the late response, Peter, but I completely agree. Warhol is truly saying something to our culture, and his message is perhaps even more relevant in today's age!
