Resumen de Andy Warhol's Red Beard
Entering art school in 1945 with a well-developed appreciation for mass consumer culture and a history of making art occupied with that interest, Andy Warhol ran into a very different form of populism in a faculty that had come of age with the social consciousness and worker-identified fellow-traveler culture of the "Red Decade." This essay looks at the meeting of these two sensibilities in the early development of Warhol’s mature aesthetic position and investigates its implications for understanding the changing basis of legitimation for high art in a mass-cultural world.
