"Warhol was interested above all
in the demystification of art and
in its reduction to something
that, at first glance, could be
done by anyone.”
The exhibition, “Works by
Warhol: From the Cochran Col
lection, LaGrange, Ga.," includes
pieces from 1974 to 1987, a pe
riod in which Warhol’s art under
went significant change. Though
still fascinated by elements of
American consumer culture,
Warhol shifted his emphasis to-
celebrities and popular heroes.
Patricia Phagan, curator of
prints and drawings for the
Georgia Museum, said, “In the
70s and 80s Warhol’s works con
tinued to feature specifically
American cultural symbols. He
became preoccupied with fame
and stars and he selected images
that brought that out, such as
John Wayne and Mick Jagger
and even images from history
such as General Custer and
Annie Oakley."
Although Warhol still relied,
for the most part, on printed
sources, he gradually added auto
graphic elements, such as outline
and collage, when designing the
silkscreen matrix for his prints
and paintings. This was a depar
ture from the hard-edged, ma
chine-made look of his earlier
work.
"What really distinguishes his
work in the 70s and 80s from that
of the 60s is his change in tech
nology and a return to his earlier
interest in spare, line drawings.
His work in the 60s had a more
opaque, mechanical look,”
Pnagan said.
Half of the pieces in the 20-
work exhibition are from "Cow
boys and Indians,” the last series
of prints Warhol completed be
fore his untimely death.
The exhibition of works, on
loan from the private collection of
Wesley and Missy Cochran, gives
the Athens community the oppor
tunity to experience the genius of
an artist whose striking original
style and colorful personality
shook the art world and earned
him the title “The Prince of Pop
Art.”
The Warhol exhibit will be on
display until July 1. The Georgia
Museum of Art is open Monday-
Saturday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. and
on Sunday from 1-9 p.m. Admis
sion is free.
Warhols on display
By COLEEN BROOKS
Entertaiment Writer
On February 23, 1987, head
lines of newspapers around the
world announced the death of
Andy Warhol, one of the most cel
ebrated men of the 20th century.
A collection of this enormously
talented and influential artist’s
works is on display now at the
Georgia Museum of Art.
Bom Andrew Warhola, the son
of Czechoslovakian immigrants,
in 1928 in Forest City, Pennsyl
vania, Warhol had a penchant for
art from an early age. In 1940, he
attended the Carnegie Institute
of Technology in Pittsburg.
Warhol made his way to New
York City, where he made a
living as a commercial artist.
Warhol possessed an offbeat
sense of style and a willingness to
experiment — a combination that
propelled him to the forefront of
the art world. His first exhibi
tion, in 1962, was a smash.
Within a few years he had be
come a major figure in Pop Art, a
movement in the 60s and early
70s which focused on mass media
and commercial symbols.
Warhol’s emphasis on banal
images such as soup cans and
Brillo boxes changed the way
many people thought about art.
Andy Warhol disregarded the
pre set notions of what art should
be and chose to paint replicas of
what he liked the most — cartoon
images and technicolor portraits
of pop icons. He felt that painted
renditions of the assorted odds
and ends that make up everyday
life have artistic value and are
worthy of attention.
Art critic John Russell said,

Lin Hardin had a Hare for living. A lire of
energy burned inside of him, it flowed from
him. it permeated his entire being. Most
importantly, he loved to share it with others.
Those around him could'nt help but to feel his
life force. He loved the outdoors, from riding

woods. He took in what he saw and
experienced and applied it to his life But yet
he would always return what he had taken in.
From showing others what he had found, to
keeping It in his memory and letting It come
out in his actions. Lin Hardin lived what he
believed in and believed In what he lived.
Tate gallery exhibits Italian photos

Mamma Mia: This lovely lady looks lonely. Go see her at
the Tate Center Art Gallery.
By RACHEL CURRY
Entertainment Writer
“Italy: One Hundred Years of
Photography,” is the current exhi
bition showing at the Tate Center
Art Gallery. The display of 162
black and white photographs fol
lows Italian history from 1884 to
1984. The show opened on May 19
and will run through June 26.
The exhibit was compiled by The
Alinari Archives, a division of the
Fratelli Alinari Museum of Photog
raphy in Florence, Italy. The show
is on a three year tour under the di
rection of the Smithsonian Institu
tion Traveling Exhibition Services
(SITES).
The Visual Arts division of Uni
versity Union is responsible for
filling the Tate Center Art Gallery
with local artists as well as trav
eling exhibits like “Italy: One Hun
dred Years of Photography,"
“We try to get two or three trav
eling exhibits each year...usually
one each quarter,” said departing
Visual Arts Coordinator Allison
Jones, a junior management major.
Incoming coordinator Rian
Brown, a freshman art major, said
the condition of the photos taken in
1984 compared with the ones taken
just a few years ago is remarkable.
“It’s incredible how the photo
graphs from the 19th century are
so clear. There’s not much differ
ence in the paper quality either.
They look almost like the more re
cent ones,” she said.
The photographs are arranged
in chronological order and are di
vided into six sections that follow
Italy from its birth, its technolog
ical advances and through World
Wars I and II.
The subject matter is varied,
ranging from the aristocracy, the
working class, developments in ar
chitecture and industry, music, na
ture and high fashion.
“I think this exhibit is both edu
cational and enjoyable. You can ap
preciate it for its historical value,
but the pictures are appealing in
their own right,” said Brown.
Jones and Brown plan to pro
pose a change for the Tate Center
Art Gallery very soon. They feel
that the walls and lighting are not
adequate to exhibit special shows
like “Italy: One Hundred Years of
Photography.”
“We need new carpeting on the
walls and new lighting,” said
Jones.
“For quality shows like this, the
gallery really needs to be in better
shape," added Brown.
Despite the needed changes, the
gallery manages to carry this ex
hibit beautifully.
