The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

Rating:
Summary: A BIBLE FOR THE ORIGINAL THINKER
Review: I read this book once a year because it puts the world in perspective for me. I don't really love his paintings and I think the "scene" he created was fun but as far as writing goes....Andy Warhol is really surprisingly wonderful . He is humorous but also hits a nerve about superficial things that makes you look at it all in a new way. He is sweet and manipulative and original and naive and incredibly ahead of his time and these are wonderful qualities for a writer. Enjoy the multiple Marilyn paintings and the involvement with the Velvet Underground but take him seriously as a writer because I still believe he is unsurpassed.

Summary: Andy Aspie?
Review: Since Warhol's death a condition known as Asperger's Syndrome has come to light. It's named after an Austrian doctor who discovered it in a group of his patients in 1940's. Due to the outbreak of WW2, his research papers remained untranslated, that is, until quite recently. In brief, Asperger's Syndrome can be seen as one of the less severe forms of Autism. Both conditions share many of the same manifestations; an individuals impairment of verbal/social skills, a sensitivity to sensory overload and a comfort found in repetitive actions. Many Aspies are visual problem solvers. Is it possible that Warhol was an Aspie? If this sounds interesting to you, try reading this book along with Elijah's Cup by Valerie Paradiz and see the strong parallels between the two.

Summary: From A to B and back again!!
Review: THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol is intensly funny, witty, and real. Andy tells of daily acounts with many super stars and various B's and it just goes to show you that Andy Warhol is a true master mind. This book is true..simple..and as real as you can get. Read it and realize, think, know and understand that you are reading HIS philosophy...it all makes very much sense...if your Andy Warhol.

Summary: Warhol's Philsophy: A daily reader..
Review: This book has it's moments. I really don't relish the pages of Brigit Polk's ramblings that have absolutely nothing to do about Andy's philsophy but are just cheap filler. It can be amusing but very boring. When his viewpoints are stumbled upon, they are uplifting, funny and are Warhol's best. I read them everyday when I wake up....right before work!

Review: This book lets you into the mind of Andy Warhol. It makes you realize what an interesting and different person he was. He is so funny and quirky and sarcastic. He had so many stories to tell. No wonder everyone loved him. I'm a big fan of Warhol, and this book is wonderful. It's great. a must-read, in my opinion.
