After reading this book, I reckon that Andy Warhol was a man of unpredictable genius. Imbedded in his images is the poetic appeal and the simultaneous pop and avante-garde timelessness of his art. He made the serious and the comic blend well. He balanced the beau monde and the classless. His colour choices evoked and exposed the hidden images within his works, and they simply slither in mind once you stare at them. Unlike some new generation artists or wannabees who only splash their canvasses with colours, sometimes of uncompromising combinations, every artwork of Warhol is alive, moving and his concept comprehensive. Here is a pop artist who is wildly prolific! As a freelance writer and editor doing articles on design and who works within the pop culture, I'd say his works are more than simply decoratives. They speak with you and are nothing less than enthralling. I feel terrific owning a copy! This is a treasureable read.
