My sister loves Warhol and I just don’t get why. I felt like I was too dumb too appreciate it’s depth or something. But I’ll support your theory of stirring us into confusion IS the genius of it all. Personally, I can’t enjoy something if I have to have it explained to me. And just because someone created something outside the box doesn’t mean it is art – it could very well be (and most of the time IS IMO) crap. My solution: nod, yes that is nice, move along.

Just the fact that you are thinking about him 20 years after he died, speaks for itself.

Not that it’s a bad thing but I just never “got” it. Some things I see and really like but most don’t do anything for me. I guess you either “get” it or you don’t and I never have. Which is a shame except that I save a lot of time standing in front of a canvass staring and wondering what the artist was thinking when he did this. And Warhol? Part crazy, part smart ass.
