Dawg, all of that was literally made by Andy Warhol.
The Lady and the Unicorn medieval tapestries were "literally made by Andy Warhol?"
Your not-a-fan toxic fandom for Andy Warhol may be making you see red right now, dawg.
You couldn't even resist your "not a fan" toxic fan bullshit for Andy Warhol so you immediately made yourself a liar.
You're claiming, apparently, that everything in the entire world is made by Andy Warhol after Andy Warhol blessed us with his presence. I was expecting that tiresome and trite Great Man Theory nonsense from you. It's laughably false, because even if he contributed and certainly made bank by his contributions, the belief that he singlehandedly created all art that followed by way of some Great Man theoretical determinism is pure liberal bullshit.
Even if it were true, and it's not, it's like expecting endless pledges of allegiance, awe, and praise (while not liking him as a person, right?) for William the Conqueror for establishing the roots of what we call modern English after 1066.
It's getting thin over here on the app LMAO
That's what happens when a "not a fan" of Andy Warhol goes all out in defense of Andy Warhol's godlike and unique contributions to the art world that no one else could have matched, surpassed, or replaced in his absence.
Emojis? Andy Warhol did it.
This site? Andy Warhol did it.
Your posts and mine? Andy Warhold did it.
We can only dream of aspiring to the awe-inspiring greatness and high level thinking of taking an undergrad art course
Performatively praising Great Men is a big part of the "in group" in humanities departments.
In the overlap between literature and performance arts, "bardology" is like a malignant tumor that chokes the resources out of anything not Shakespeare, for example. And God help you if you mention anything negative about Shakespeare (such as ) or his Tudor patrons (that were definitely pleased by the character assassination of Richard III) for any reason.
Funny how every creep eventually turns to “anti-intellectualism” as their weapon of defense. The French are experts at this today.
Was everyone who criticized “Cuties” anti-intellectual?
It doesn’t really speak to the strength of someone’s position when they have to just depart from the critiques themselves to brandish buzzwords. If your position is strong you should be able to defend it while sticking to the art in question.
If I criticize you it’s because I’m a shrewd critic. If you criticize me it’s because you’re anti-intellectual.
No, my pedophillic fantasy novel isn’t gross, and by criticizing it you’re being the same as literal Nazis (who doesn’t love a little Nazi trivialization?)
"You can't criticize or even dislike the rich connected fed-funded very smartists or their treats or else you are not very smartist."
“Yeah well conservatives also said rap was bad. Care to reconsider your ‘graphic sex scenes between a 12 year old and a 50 year old are bad’ position?”
"Also your criticism is itself a vindicating performance art piece! Dance, unwashed barbarian puppets! Dance for the glory of the abusive sex pest auteurs!"
PLEASE EXPLAIN
Summary, especially because "literally" a set of medieval tapestries were also credited to Andy Warhol:
I was hoping for some vague connection between Linda Ronstadt and Warhol to explain the Eagles thing
It's just Great Man Theory shit taken to its most extreme conclusions: you must directly credit the subversive genius of Andy Warhold for everything that came after him (and apparently, everything that came before him) or else you're an unwashed barbarian.
What the fuck are you talking about
Great Man Theory. Not even once.
