The brothers sure are "stayin' alive!" The Red and Black • Thursday, May 24, 1990 • 7 A&E at GMA "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, Portrait of a rock star as a young man: This Warhol silk- screen of Mick Jagger will be here until July Pump It Up!!

Tate gallery exhibits Italian photos file 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. Winning Looks. Everyone knows how important career dressing is these days.
