Iโve always felt that Warhol was engaging me in a conversation about the mundane and the magnificent. Arenโt the most basic forms the most life affirming? Not Chartres, but the cow head or the Brillo box. Thatโs 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. Heโs telling a story alright, but itโs different from the one Michelangelo told me. And as you say, thatโs 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!
