“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” —Andy Warhol 🎂 Andy Warhol, a leading figure in the Pop Art movement, was born on this day in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Warhol revolutionized the art world by transforming mundane objects and celebrity images into iconic pieces. Known for his bold use of color and innovative techniques, Warhol's work challenged traditional notions of art and consumer culture. "Self-Portrait" is one of the last self-portraits Warhol painted before his death. The monumental scale (nearly 9 x 9 feet) suggests that Warhol’s obsession with celebrity encompassed himself.

"In the Guggenheim’s flowing curves, I captured a moment where architecture and visitors create a harmonious scene. The gentle spirals frame the viewers, blending light and space, turning the building into a serene canvas that enhances the art and the experience." —Jie Roe #FrankLloydWrightFridays

Happy birthday, Marcel Duchamp! Born on this day in 1887, Duchamp is best known for his innovative approach to art, challenging traditional notions of what art could be and introducing concepts like readymades This painting, identified by Duchamp as a self-portrait, likely began in December 1911, while he was exploring ideas for his controversial work, "Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2" (1912). Here, his brief yet intense interest in Cubism is evident through the subdued palette, the emphasis on the flat surface of the picture plane, and the subordination of representational fidelity to the demands of abstract composition. Pictured: Marcel Duchamp, "Nude (Study), Sad Young Man in a Train," 1911-12. © 2024 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris/Succession Marcel Duchamp.
