5.0 out of 5 stars Warhol is witty and, against his better judgment, profound., 28 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again (Harbrace Paperbound Library ; Hpl 75) (Paperback)
This book reveals interesting and paradoxically profound aspects of Warhol, a man whose reputation for shallowness and whose self-confessedly mercenary approach to art can be offputting.
His philosophy is to question the nature of art and of beauty itself.He does that in print here as he does elsewhere in paint and film. He neatly highlights and passes back to the reader for re-examination the differentiations commonly made between art and artefact, between intimate and public, between personal and mass-produced.
There speaks a naked and entertaining truthfulness from the page and there is a refusal to deal in the euphemism and pretention which pervade much art criticism. It's also very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turns your mind upside-down, 2 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again (Harbrace Paperbound Library ; Hpl 75) (Paperback)
This is one of my 5 favorite books of all time. I'm not a huge fan of Andy's art, but his PHILOSOPHIES are AMAZING! He's got such a creative mind. Willing to look at things from underneath instead of only from the front. Such great thoughts as, "If there's one person I would really like to put on retainer it would be a boss. Someone that tells you what to do so you don't need to make all of your own decisions." And, "The best space is an empty space. I feel bad making art for a living - which really just wastes all that wonderful empty space. The only thing better than an empty room is an empty room with a little hole in the wall that looks over into another empty room." These might not be the best examples, but just two off the top of my head. His little commentaries on life will open your mind & hopefully cause you to look at your own daily life in your own twisted philosophies. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Witty, clever, intelligent musings by a cultural icon, 26 Feb 2007
Whatever you think of Andy Warhol, 20 years after his death and 3+ decades after this little book was written, he remains an inescapable figure in the arts scene. This witty book is difficult not to like, full of clever musings about life and art. You'll want to keep turning back to it and pass it on to friends to enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Warhol's Philsophy: A daily reader..
This book has it's moments. I really don't relish the pages of Brigit Polk's ramblings that have absolutely nothing to do about Andy's philsophy but are just cheap filler. Read more
