Etymology: Study of Words

Thesis: Pollock and Warhol Sucks.

I’m not an authority on art, but I do have my critiques on the works of Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol. For one thing, I do not find their works of art glorious or inspiring, but I will give credit to Pollock for opening the gateway to contemporary art.

As for Andy Warhol, I think Jasper Johns was far more skilled than Warhol ever was. Plus I think most of his fame came from his character: uptight “know-it-all-ism” and surrounding himself with celebrities 24/7. If someone can give me 2 or 3 good aspects of Warhols works, I’ll consider taking him off my list titled “Artists Who Suck.”

For me, I personally enjoy the works of Robert Rauschenberg (who died last May). Paul Klee is my favorite expressionist/surrealist. Dan Flavin for minimalism. Richard Serra for Sculptural Art… although he might be tied with Auguste Rodin. Other artists which I like include:

  • Jenny Holzer
  • Alberto Giacometti
  • Marcel Duchamp
  • Robert Indiana

I actually have a longer list, but Pollock and Warhol are definitely not on it. Now before people criticize my opinion on the lame works of Pollock and Warhol, I just want to let you know that I not only talk the talk, but I do walk the walk. I know how (to): paint (oil + Acrylic) , draw, etch, sculpt, write calligraphy, block print, darkroom photography, digital photography, graphic design (Basics), web design (Front End) , 2 years of Art History and 6 years of studio art. (I’m only 20). 

Okay. Attack me. :D

About Me [+]

Heading into finals weeks which means a load of stress. Luckily I have amazing friends and a great boyfriend to take my mind off it all. This week, school. Next week, cleaning up and packing for my vacation. I'm not sure when I'll be back exactly, but I'll hop on Tumblr as soon as I can.
