Presentations

Ryan: I liked your points on how Warhol's production of multiple prints is a form of mass consumption and the implications of that in relation to the art. I think you have some really interesting material with the last few slides on turning people, especially well known public figures, into consumer goods through art. I would be interested to see if there were any public reactions from any of the subjects and if Warhol got permission from any of his subjects beforehand.

Karen: The topic of women depicted as monsters is especially interesting and could be further looked into and analyzed. Why exactly is it considered beautiful to be a monster and how did this portrayal come about? How do people react to the fact that the artist is a male depicting females in this way?

Sierra: I really enjoyed your comparison of the two paintings, and I think you did a great job analyzing the differences and similarities thoroughly. The red arrows were a great addition to specifically show where the common points lied. I would be interested to explore the topic of the subject being a prostitute and what controversy existed from that.

Bri: Your presentation was very interesting. I liked that you were able to bring the concept around to modern times, consumerism, and advertising. The topic of the gaze, and inclusion of a face is a particuarly interesting subject matter and I would be interested to see if you could trace a series of images back to see how this has been used throughout recent times in ads and less recent times in paintings.
