Photography like material with Andy Warhol

Since the beginning of 60 years, Andy warhol result of the standardization the theme of his art. It lays down on the canvas tickets banks, soup cans etc. .. He is an artist inseparable from the Pop art of the 1960's. It makes the ground very accurately without alienating, except for the expansion. His serigraphs our place in the presence of an entire universe. If it did not use the photograph as a collage assembling his paintings become unreal and away from reality. The form is no longer defined by the color, it dissolves in the transparency of the color.

It is in a context of double choice: the technique would use photographic silkscreen on canvas, and that, iconographic, extract of the press photographs of figures and scenes of the most emblematic and most of the daily American popular culture: the film star, show business and politics (Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy and Liz Taylor). As the facts of winter. It appropriates stereotypes of sensational media in the protected area of great art and that using photography as these paintings are almost all printed copies of photographs of sensational media.
Mechanization is at the centre of the artistic process of Warhol. Its goal is to produce his paintings as quickly as possible and with art to painting industrial estate. It proclaims that what is true for industry is true needs to be for art. Mechanization, ie the abolition of the author, gesture, expression is not limited solely to the painting. Warhol goes further by using photography in the most mechanical. First, by choosing existing clichés and published in the press.
Andy Warhol is an essential step in the use of photography as a subject.
