They're perfectly sized and great for serving snacks, appetizers or condiments at your next get-together. Andy Warhol plates from Crate and Barrel are already sold out on the site. Use them indoors or out, but get them soon.
Most often seen as the crown prince of the avant-garde, Warhol's drawings provide clear evidence that draughtsmanship sat at the very center of his artistic life. He learned to draw in the most academic manner from his years at Carnegie Tech. This skill was further honed during his stay on Madison Avenue working as an illustrator far commercial advertising. Taken together these two experiences resulted in a finely wrought, clean, quick line which created the essential artistic skeleton on which all of his art was built. I would hazard the opinion that Warhol was every bit the draughtsman that Ingres, Holbein, or even Picasso was," said Thomas Sokolowski, director for The Andy Warhol Museum.
Along with the drawings produced for his commercial work in the fashion and advertising industries during the 1950s, Andy Warhol also sketched intimate portraits of his friends. Occasionally he would add gold leaf to a drawing to enhance the glamour and seductive qualities of the image.
During the early Andy Warhol 1960s, especially the period from 1962 when he started to use photo-silkscreen painting, Warhol's drawings have an experimental and exploratory feel. They combine elements of photography, collage, written instructions of working studies, and, on occasion, finished pencil and colored crayon or watercolor. Please purchase on online www.etabletop.com
