Andy Warhol: Marilyn Game: Warhol Talks on "The right color"

  Andy Warhol's Marilyn Prints

In the 1960s, Andy Warhol created several “mass-produced” images from photographs of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Jackie Onassis. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a key figure in Pop Art, an art movement that emerged in America and elsewhere in the 1950s to become prominent over the next two decades. The Fauves used non-representational color and representational form to convey different sensations. Apply the same idea to the portrait of Marilyn Monroe below, using the controls to adjust the colors. How does the color affect the mood? Unlike the Fauve colors, the non-representational colors of Pop Art do not depict the artist’s inner sensation of the world. They refer to the popular culture, which also inspires Warhol to experiment with the technique of silkscreen printing, a popular technique used for mass production. In doing so, Warhol moves away from the elitist avant-garde tradition. Initially, many spectators received this new marriage between art and commodity culture with little enthusiasm.   Warhol discusses his choice of color in this 19981 recording. Press the play button to listen to his comments. On the occasion of Marilyn Monroe’s suicide in August 1962, Warhol used this image for his screenprinting. It was a publicity shot by Gene Korman for the film Niagara, made in 1953.    Warhol was fascinated with morbid concepts. Sometimes, however, the results are astonishingly beautiful, such as the resonating, brilliantly colored images of Marilyn Monroe. The Marilyn canvases were early examples of Warhol’s use of silkscreen printing, a method the artist experimented with, recalling: In August 62 I started doing silkscreens. I wanted something stronger that gave more of an assembly line effect. With silkscreening you pick a photograph, blow it up, transfer it in glue onto silk, and then roll ink across it so the ink goes through the silk but not through the glue. That way you get the same image, slightly different each time. It was all so simple quick and chancy. I was thrilled with it. When Marilyn Monroe happened to die that month, I got the idea to make screens of her beautiful face the first Marilyns. Using photo-stencils in screen-printing, Warhol uses photographic images for his screenprints. The screen is prepared using a photographic process, and then different color inks are printed using a rubber squeegee to press the paint onto the painting through the screen.

Joli hein ?

After Missing Link Found, last Lubbe Google (which goes thus) is Mary Cassatt, but if you see this logo today on Google: Alors Mary Cassatt est une artiste-peintre américaine, née le 22 mai 1844 aux USA, et donc, comme on est le 22 mai, et que Google est un site terriblement « culturel» , hop. So Mary Cassatt is an American painter, born on 22 May 1844 in the USA, and therefore, as is May 22 and that Google is a terribly "cultural" hop. Plutôt qu'un long discours, on va plutôt regarder son travail :p Rather than a long speech, rather we will look at his work: p

.

Vous vous demandez tous, la bouche en coeur, c'est quoi ce logo Google tout bizarre depuis ce matin ? You wonder all the heart in mouth, what's all this strange Google logo from this morning? Et bien pour faire simple, des scientifiques ont découvert un truc que tout le monde cherche depuis des années, et qui ressemble à ceci : Well to keep things simple, scientists have discovered something that everyone looking for years, and that looks like this: Joli hein ? Nice huh? C'est un fossile d'un machin daté de 47 millions d'années, ça s'appelle le Darwinius masillae, c'est une sorte de lémurien avec des pouces opposables. It is a fossil of a foobar dated 47 million years, it is called Darwinius masillae is a type of lemur with opposable thumbs. Une sorte de « presque humain»  donc. A sort of "almost human", therefore. Chouette hein ? Cool huh?

Michael Jackson's Mom Fears Looting Coroner Returns to Jackson House for Drugs 30 Minute Delay in Calling 911 for Jackson

Michael Jackson's Mom Fears Looting

Posted Jun 29th 2009 7:07PM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonThe lawyer for Michael Jackson's mother filed documents in court today, sounding the alarm that people up to no good will try and fleece Michael's estate. The court had apparently had enough concern to make Katherine the administrator of the estate pending a hearing next Monday.

Katherine's attorney, Burt Levitch, claims there are numerous bank accounts of Michael's that are being controlled by third parties. He says the bank accounts are used "to pay expenses of [Michael's] parents' home." Levitch says these bank accounts need to be controlled so third parties don't misspend the money.

Levitch also says there is worry about Michael's stake in the Sony-ATV Music Publishing Catalog -- which includes Beatles' works -- that Levitch says is the most important asset in the estate. Levitch says no one is now representing Michael's interests and he wants Katherine to step in her late son's shoes.

Levitch says at least one person is claiming to have a power of attorney to act on Michael's behalf. Although a power of attorney would have ended when Michael died, Levitch worries that not everyone knows that and assets could be misappropriated.

And the family is questioning whether a will really exists, because no one has informed them of that fact. We're told attorney John Branca, who was re-hired by Michael three weeks ago, is in possession of a will.

Katherine has the right under the order "to control tangible personal property currently in the physical possession of a third party, and to marshall and secure such assets."

UPDATE: We're told the LAPD retrieved several prescription bottles from Jackson's house ...but the plastic bags by no means were filled with pills.

The L.A. County Coroner's office went back to Michael Jackson's home to retrieve medications, based on information turned up by the LAPD.

Coroner's staff left the house with two large plastic bags.

The Coroner would not say what types of meds were retrieved.

As we first reported, it is increasingly looking like Jackson died from a drug overdose -- possibly a combination of drugs.

30 Minute Delay in Calling 911 for Jackson

Posted Jun 29th 2009 6:37PM by TMZ Staff

It took Michael Jackson's doctor a half-hour to call 911after finding MJ unconscious -- this according to the doc's lawyer, Edward Chernoff.

Chernoff explained this bizarre revelation by saying Dr. Conrad Murray didn't immediately make the call from his cell phone because he didn't know the exact address of Michael's mansion. For the record, the house is just above Sunset Blvd. in Beverly Hills -- one of the most famous streets in the country.

Chernoff said Murray eventually got someone in the house to make the call.

Murray has already taken heat for performing CPR on Jackson as he was lying on a bed. Chernoff's excuse ... it was a "firm bed."
