    Warhol, Andy (as filmmaker) (1928-1987) Andy Warhol. by David Ehrenstein Image appears under the Creative Commons Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Courtesy Jack Mitchell. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com As a painter Andy Warhol (the name he assumed after moving to New York as a young man) has been compared to everyone from Salvador Dalí to Norman Rockwell. But when it comes to his role as a filmmaker he is generally remembered either for a single film--Sleep (1963)--or for works that he did not actually direct. Born into a blue-collar family in Forest City, Pennsylvania on August 6, 1928, Andrew Warhola, Jr. attended art school at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. He moved to New York in 1949, where he changed his name to Andy Warhol and became an international icon of Pop Art. Between 1963 and 1967 Warhol turned out a dizzying number and variety of films involving many different collaborators, but after a 1968 attempt on his life, he retired from active duty behind the camera, becoming a producer/ "presenter" of films, almost all of which were written and directed by Paul Morrissey. Morrissey's Flesh (1968), Trash (1970), and Heat (1972) are estimable works. And Bad (1977), the sole opus of Warhol's lover Jed Johnson, is not bad either. But none of these films can compare to the Warhol films that preceded them, particularly My Hustler (1965), an unprecedented slice of urban gay life; Beauty #2 (1965), the best of the films featuring Edie Sedgwick; The Chelsea Girls (1966), the only experimental film to gain widespread theatrical release; and **** (Four Stars) (1967), the 25-hour long culmination of Warhol's career as a filmmaker.

  • California State University, Northridge Exploitation
    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE EXPLOITATION, WOMEN AND WARHOL A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art by Kathleen Frances Burke May 1986 The Thesis of Kathleen Frances Burke is approved: Louise Leyis, M.A. Dianne E. Irwin, Ph.D. r<Iary/ Kenan Ph.D. , Chair California State. University, Northridge ii DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to Dr. Mary Kenon Breazeale, whose tireless efforts have brought it to fruition. She taught me to "see" and interpret art history in a different way, as a feminist, proving that women's perspectives need not always agree with more traditional views. In addition, I've learned that personal politics does not have to be sacrificed, or compartmentalized in my life, but that it can be joined with a professional career and scholarly discipline. My time as a graduate student with Dr. Breazeale has had a profound effect on my personal life and career, and will continue to do so whatever paths my life travels. For this I will always be grateful. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In addition, I would like to acknowledge the other members of my committee: Louise Lewis and Dr. Dianne Irwin. They provided extensive editorial comments which helped me to express my ideas more clearly and succinctly. I would like to thank the six branches of the Glendale iii Public Library and their staffs, in particular: Virginia Barbieri, Claire Crandall, Fleur Osmanson, Nora Goldsmith, Cynthia Carr and Joseph Fuchs. They provided me with materials and research assistance for this project. I would also like to thank the members of my family.

  • The Films of Andy Warhol Stillness, Repetition, and the Surface of Things
    The Films of Andy Warhol Stillness, Repetition, and the Surface of Things David Gariff National Gallery of Art If you wish for reputation and fame in the world . take every opportunity of advertising yourself. — Oscar Wilde In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes. — attributed to Andy Warhol 1 The Films of Andy Warhol: Stillness, Repetition, and the Surface of Things Andy Warhol’s interest and involvement in film ex- tends back to his childhood days in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Warhol was sickly and frail as a youngster. Illness often kept him bedridden for long periods of time, during which he read movie magazines and followed the lives of Hollywood celebri- ties. He was an avid moviegoer and amassed a large collection of publicity stills of stars given out by local theaters. He also created a movie scrapbook that included a studio portrait of Shirley Temple with the handwritten inscription: “To Andrew Worhola [sic] from Shirley Temple.” By the age of nine, Warhol had received his first camera. Warhol’s interests in cameras, movie projectors, films, the mystery of fame, and the allure of celebrity thus began in his formative years. Many labels attach themselves to Warhol’s work as a filmmaker: documentary, underground, conceptual, experi- mental, improvisational, sexploitation, to name only a few. His film and video output consists of approximately 650 films and 4,000 videos. He made most of his films in the five-year period from 1963 through 1968. These include Sleep (1963), a five- hour-and-twenty-one minute look at a man sleeping; Empire (1964), an eight-hour film of the Empire State Building; Outer and Inner Space (1965), starring Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgwick; and The Chelsea Girls (1966) (codirected by Paul Morrissey), a double-screen film that brought Warhol his greatest com- mercial distribution and success.

  • Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable
    Jean Wainwright Mediated Pain: Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable ‘Warhol has indeed put together a total environment. But it is an assemblage that actually vibrates with menace, cynicism and perversion. To experience it is to be brutalized, helpless…The Flowers of Evil are in full bloom with the Exploding, Plastic, Inevitable’.1 The ‘Exploding Plastic Inevitable’ (EPI) was Andy Warhol’s only foray into a total inter-media experience.2 From 1966 to 1967 the EPI, at its most developed, included up to three film projectors3, sometimes with colour reels projected over black and white, variable speed strobes, movable spots with coloured gels, hand-held pistol lights, mirror balls, slide projectors with patterned images and, at its heart, a deafening live performance by The Velvet Underground.4 Gerard Malanga’s dancing – with whips, luminous coloured tape and accompanied by Mary Woronov or Ingrid Superstar – completed the assault on the senses. [Fig.9.1] This essay argues that these multisensory stimuli were an arena for Warhol to mediate an otherwise internalised interest in pain, using his associates and the public as baffles to insulate himself from it. His management of the EPI allowed Warhol to witness both real and simulated pain, in a variety of forms. These ranged from the often extreme reactions of the viewing audience to the repetition on his background reels, projected over the foreground action.5 Warhol had adopted passivity as a self-fashioning device.6 This was a coping mechanism against being hurt, and a buffer to shield his emotional self from the public gaze.7 At the same time it became an effective manipulative device, deployed upon his Factory staff.

Tło polityczne i kulturowy kontekst przemian w społeczeństwie amerykańskim lat 60. XX w. Z początkiem lat 60-tych XX wieku - wielu Amerykanów wierzyło, że stoją u progu „złotego wieku”. Podczas swojej kampanii prezydenckiej w 1960 roku, John F. Kennedy obiecał najbardziej ambitny program krajowy od czasu tzw. Nowego Ładu: „New Frontier” - pakiet ustaw i reform, które dążyły do wyeliminowania niesprawiedliwości w Stanach Zjednoczonych. 20 stycznia 1961 roku Kennedy został prezydentem Stanów Zjednoczonych. Jego przekonanie, że - jak ujął to jeden z historyków - „rząd miał potężne odpowiedzi na potężne problemy”1 zdawało się nadawać ton na resztę dekady. Jednak grupa Południowców, którzy nie znosili interwencjonistycznego liberalizmu tego planu robili wszystko, aby go zablokować. Rosnący po II wojnie światowej konsumpcjonizm, masowo produkowane przedmioty oraz rosnący wpływ amerykańskiej kultury popularnej i rozwijającego się przemysłu wpłynęły na pojawienie się nowych kierunków w sztuce. Sztuka popularna rywalizowała z kulturą wysoką, a rzesze ludzi walczyły z przejawiającą się na wielu płaszczyznach dyskryminacją.

    MoMA PRESENTS ANDY WARHOL’S INFLUENTIAL FILMED PORTRAITS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN GALLERY SETTING Salvador Dalí, “Baby” Jane Holzer, Dennis Hopper, Edie Sedgwick, Susan Sontag Among the 28 Celluloid Portraits Andy Warhol: Screen Tests May 1–September 1, 2003 MoMA QNS NEW YORK, April 17, 2003—The Museum of Modern Art presents an exhibition of Andy Warhol’s cinematic portraits in Andy Warhol: Screen Tests, on view at MoMA QNS from May 1 to September 1, 2003. The 28 works, shown by MoMA for the first time in a gallery setting, reveal Warhol’s lifelong fascination with the cult of celebrity and feature Dennis Hopper, Salvador Dalí, Edie Sedgwick, and other artists, actors, writers, models, musicians, and visitors to Warhol’s Factory. The Screen Tests have been adapted for gallery exhibition, each group of tests playing continuously, so visitors will be able to see the full selection in a single viewing. These black-and-white, silent films from the mid-1960s were selected from the Museum’s extensive Warhol film holdings, and are among the 277 of Warhol’s 500 Screen Tests that have been restored by the Museum to date. The exhibition was organized by Mary Lea Bandy, Chief Curator, Department of Film and Media. “As an artist working with fashion and media throughout his career, Warhol played with hip celebrity like no one else,” says Ms. Bandy. “Yet there is texture and beauty behind the dazzle or deadpan of his sitters’ moods, and fluidity and ease in experimenting with shifts and interactions of mediums: the held pose, its particular stillness, and the slowed motion, make the portraits both photograph and film.
