“Don’t Be So Humble, You Are Not That Great”<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />....

A true artist finds the beauty in anything and portrays it perfectly.  They can put down what they see and think to show other people how they are.  A true artist can take a scene and turn it into something that can be kept forever. They have talent, drive, and a love for what they do.  A true artist does not create masterpieces for money, but because it is what they love to do. Picasso, Van Gogh, Di Vinci and Monet are prime examples of artists.  Andy Warhol is not.   Andy Warhol was cheap, trashy and an over-all jerk.....

            Andy Warhol may have started the pop-art culture, but he ended the world of art.  His “artwork” is cheap, trashy and shows little to no talent.  Pictures of soup cans do not express anything artistic, nor do pictures if bananas.  His ideas of “art” are a shame and mockery to true artists.  His paintings are obnoxious and offensive.  The colors he uses are so loud you couldn’t hear sirens over them.  His ability to trace and screen print did not make up for his lack of creativity.  Not only were his paintings cheap looking, they were boring.  If people wanted to look at pictures of Marilyn Monroe, they could just look in a magazine.  At least she would have had the potential to be pretty there.  He had the inane ability to make anything seem absolutely psychotic and more or less ridiculous than they needed to be.....

Film is a big part of American life, but Andy somehow managed to kill it.  His idea of a good film was eight hours of nothing but footage of the Empire State Building.  This took no creativity and no talent.  Neither did his film Eat.  All Eat showed was a man eating a mushroom for forty-five minutes. Any filmmaker of today should be ashamed at the horrible legacy that Warhol left behind.  Hopefully no one will try to follow in his footsteps.  Warhol was simply bent on making money in any way possible. He did not really care about art. (skellyton.blogspot.com)....

Warhol said that the reason he started painting pictures of money was because someone told him to paint what he loved most.  That is a rude and arrogant thing to do.  He was cheap, selfish, and wanted nothing more than to con anyone and everyone into giving him their money.  He was a disgrace to artists everywhere and does not deserve the title of artist.....

            In the end, Andy Warhol was no only a terrible artist, but a terrible person in general.  He did everything he could to make as much money as possible, even if it meant cheating and conning people.  If anyone should be considered an artist, it should not be him.....
