The post I placed above sets the idea to the viewers of my blog that There is an art to everything. And what is better than picking the famous artist, Andy Warhol to depict this fact. Every object has a place, every crease in a piece of paper helps create something, every video has artistic quality: whether it's to the acting the actors are portraying or the way the make up is places upon the actors .
I decided to pick Warhol's famous Soup Can painting to show how photography can change the image and view of a piece of art. I placed the soup can painting on the toilet in the bathroom in my doom because it totally brings down the image of Warhol. Would he ever place his art in the bathroom like that? Well, maybe he would because of his crazy, brilliant, artistic mind. But to those who look up to his art might take it as offensive. Warhol's paintings have traveled around the world and as Berger says, "When the camera reproduces a painting, it destroys the uniqueness of its image." This is a very arguable fact. By taking the photo of Warhol's soup can in the bathroom, I believe it adds uniqueness to the picture. And by photographing the soup can on the floor on a printed rug, it gives the painting a relaxed forgetfulness of the painting. Some may think that it would be frowned upon to just have it relaxing on the floor. And lastly, by photographing it as the head on a body, i believe that it gives a different meaning to the photograph, I feel as if it is something Warhol might have done. Just as Berger says, "The painting enters each viewers house. There it is surrounded by his wallpaper, his furniture, his mementos. It enters an atmosphere of his family. It becomes their talking point." And indeed by having a creative and twisted mindset on photographing art, it completely changes the view of looking at a painting, rather than seeing it hung in a museum.
