4th of July - have received many questions about the Andy Warhol exhibit currently on view at the art gallery here in Victoria. Being an artist myself I guess people are more inclined to approach me on the subject. I am not a fan of Warhol. However his work is an honest reflection of the 'non-culture culture' of America. After all Andy grew up with Campbell soup, hot dogs, hamburgers and Hollywood movies. All these objects and subjects dominate his output. Pop(ular) art belongs justly 100% in the USA. It was mimicked in Europe, but there the artists were not raised with those non-culture culture ingredients which Warhol got his inspiration and nourishment from. Does that answer your question? Signing off for now, Henri
