I really appreciate this post for a number of reasons, but you should be aware of some irony in what you write, particularly as it relates to Andy. Andy Warhol's entire worldview as an artist revolved around the parody of fame and "art". He was primarily an unmasker of those with a certain view of "art" as a precious, special thing. He would be laughing at the idea that anyone took his images for "art"! The fact is made even more delicious by the insanely high value placed on his images of ridiculously mundane stuff. That said, Andy, probably much to his own chagrin (although there are few artists who don't occasional marvel at their own skill!), was a brilliant graphic artist. His work is immaculately designed, beautifully proportioned, elegant and indeed, very "special" (in the sense of art, the craft without the air quotes). This is a double or triple or Nary entendre, if you are Andy Warhol: You are commenting on the ridiculous qualities of "art" while at the same time creating exactly the type of "art" that you are parodying - and loving every minute of it! Genius! Someone has to do it! Please don't think that the fixation on people like Andy means that others are lesser. All are not. Like any other discipline, some are, some aren't. Andy just happens to be famous! And dead, of course. I don't think that art historians have really caught up with the digital age. It's kind of funny that 99% of all of the images we see today have been manipulated by computer.. you think that some of them might have figured that out! Either way, Andy elevates all digital artists by creating digital art on the Amiga. I'm very glad they discovered it. Give the art historians a little time. They'll figure it out eventually.
