BATMAN & L'ART POP

L'art Pop dans les années 1960 se faisait éclatant, jusque dans la série télévisée Batman. Les célèbres Pow, Wham ou Boum des scénes de combats contre les vilains trouvèrent d'ailleurs un écho fort intéressant lorsque en 1966 Roy Lichtenstein fut invité à réaliser la couverture de Batman pour le TV Guide de l'époque.

DIANA ROSS & CHER

«Halston called inviting me to dinner for Diana Ross at his house. She was in the tightest black pants, like she was poured into them, and she's so skinny -they were so tight she could hardly sit down. She was sitting next to me and she talked the whole night, touching me, I guess she was on something. She said that she told Cher she wouldn't do her TV special, that Cher flew up to Vegas to see her last week about it, but she turned it down. She said: «That's not my scene right now». Diana uses the hip lines, she said, «I don't mind the girl, but...Weren't they best friends once?

PHILOSOPHY FOR THE 21st CENTURY: POLITICS

Now that all the intellectually smart & witty things comes from straight people any politician could get the gay vote by only promising a free gym membership and a pair of white underwear.

LEO CASTELLI AND THE EARLY POP ART

Castelli didn't open his own gallery — actually, a converted bedroom in his Upper East Side apartment — until 1957, and it was another year before he made his biggest splash, the first solo exhibition of a promising Southerner not yet 30: Jasper Johns. Castelli had seen his work in a group show at New York's pioneering Jewish Museum, but the "discovery" came only when Castelli was taking a studio tour of another young Southerner who'd also shown in the museum's exhibition: Rauschenberg. The two artists (neither Jewish) were neighbors and shared a fridge. When Castelli wanted ice in his drink, there was Johns, surrounded by his painted flags and targets and alphabets. Castelli signed them both.

HOW INTERVIEW MAGAZINE WAS FOUNDED

Andy Warhol, as one might expect, was no ordinary magazine publisher. He purportedly founded the iconic title Interview merely in order to justify his application for a press pass to give him free access to the New York Film Festival.

THE MONEY OBSESSION

«His private diary was in the first instance a way of keeping account of his expenditure. He had a complicated relationship with money. He would keep 100 dollar bill in his boots»

-Bob Colacello.

WOMAN IN REVOLT

«Conservative feminism is pro-woman but male-friendly. If boys are languishing academically, if blue-collar men lose most of the jobs in the recession, or if innocent young men are falsely accused of heinous crimes--as several members of the Duke University Lacrosse team were in 2006, with campus feminists at the head of the mob--conservative feminists will speak out on men's behalf. The feminists now in power in our universities and in Washington see the world differently--as a zero-sum struggle between men and women, in which their job is to fight for women. But that is not the attitude of most women, whether conservative or liberal in political outlook. Men are their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons; when they are in trouble, so are the women who care about them and, in many cases, depend on them.»

-Christina Hoff Sommers

WARHOLIAN QUOTE OF THE DAY

-Ernest Hemingway

HIGH CULTURE VS LOW CULTURE EXPLAINED

High culture is about the second name: Mozart, Picasso, Dali,Cocteau. Pop culture is the opposite: Angelina, Brad, Jennifer, Kim. And then we have Andy, Andrew Warhola, Andy Warhol or... Warhol.

YOUTH IS MADE TO BE COCKY AND SHOW OFF

«I JUST READ EVERYTHING»

"I went to art school, I studied pop culture, I know everything about music and iconography, pop, cultural and religious," she says. "I'm self-manufactured. . .. (I look) at it not as poison or lowbrow, but looking at it in a very highbrow way, and self-making myself to be a powerful visionary and say something that will genuinely speak to people."

WOMEN & GAY MEN

They always say gay men and women understand each other. That's simply not true. Gay men just can't figure out what women really think when having sex. What do they think??? «Gosh, It's so small, I feel nothing, but at least I will get a Chanel bag in return»?
