COMMONPLACE

«Warhol accepts rather than questions our popular habits and heroes.  By accepting their inevitability,

they are easier to deal with than if they are opposed....We accept the glorified legend in preference to the actuality of our immediate experiences,  so much so that the legend becomes commonplace and, finally, devoid of the very qualities which first interested us».
