Abstract

With the advent of pop art and artistic creativity of Andy Warhol are
changed the classic works of reception of art and art in general. Andy
Warhol in his artistic action is insisting on the immediate actions and
the naked form - those are so-called the works of “pure” form, which
create a confusing gap; whose “content” is necessary to construct, that
is, to invent. That in the opinion of Andy Warhol can only audiences
and critics - with that he actually makes room for interpretation of his
artistic work. Andy Warhol was aware of the existing “gaps of entity”.
He wants the freedom which he enjoys in his artistic expression to also
provide to the recipient, he is trying to leave his artwork fully open for
reading and interpretation. In his quest he comes to the intelligible
symbolic acts spontaneously. When the artist himself once firmly justifies
his image - he imposes the audience and the lasting perception
of his work. Andy Warhol observes that in the creation of mass industrial
society is a source of the anxiety of the West. The causes of this
condition are different: the money, the androgynous future of man,
machines which are replacing man and colonizing his consciousness
and thus enslave him. Andy Warhol wonders - whether the contemporary
art can offer the optimism?! His optimism could be seen as his
opposition to European pessimism and decadence.
