Warhol at the MAM
This weekend I went to check out the Warhol exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum and came away with two impressions: 1) Warhol's art makes most other art look compellingly boring, and 2) he was unknowingly ahead of his time in terms of Internet mash-ups. Long before Kanye-VMA absurdities were being mashed with Obama-Congressional Hall "You Lies!", or insert any other video you've ever seen on the Internet here___, Warhol was combining everything from General Electric to The Last Supper to vibrant camouflage colors in his canvases. It almost seems cruel that he is not around today to talk about the Internet.
