Artwork in Class

In class I thought that the andy warhol painting was great. The way it was painted or printed was creative, because it only focused on Madonna. In the 1960's Madonna was considered a female sex idol. She was the one that made walking over vents with steam the coolest thing in the 1960's. The way the artist showed Madonna was in multiple prints on the same canvas in color on one side and black and white on the other. This art as a few meanings that I could pull from it. Like most movie stars in the media today Madona in the sixty's was considered the hotest thing to look at for sex appeal. The way her hair was styled made women want to copy her like she was a fashion model. In a way she was a model for women in the sixty's. The black and white part of the painting reminded me of how if an image is printed to many times it loses its appeal cause there nothing new to look at other than what was printed there. It was like running out of ink on a printer doing a big job. Once the ink runs out finish the job and move on to something that will appeal better to the audience than the last painting or print that the artist did.
