a twenty fourth cartoon - 'warhol'


Andy Warhol’s genius is too often under-estimated.  The contention that his works are simply derivative is being disingenuous to his vision and his legacy.  Instead his works are often brilliant, ironic and, of course, enduring iconic portrayals of commercial advertising and our fixation with the zeitgeist; he understood the power of repetition as an art form perhaps like no other, and under-scored everything he did with a  keen aesthetic.
