Entry: Andy Warhol: Pop Art versus High Modernism - A785982
Author: ellie - U198365

looks to be a thorough piece... not sure if this is original writing or not, but...

I just read about half of this, but I can't finish it just now, so *bump*

This is a very well researched piece, in my not-at-all-biased opinion! Thanks for submitting it Sporky, shame there hasn't been any discussion... ellie's still around, but she's temporarily misplaced her password and hasn't managed to get another one yet... Anyway, 'tis definitely original, and I think worthy of inclusion... so, once again, *bump*

What's happening with this entry? The author hasn't been around for about a year...

What is an exponent of a scene? I only know the word mathematically, so the article starts out nonsensically to me. If I hadn't been feeling guilty for not being in PR for awhile, I'd have skipped the article alltogether as being impenetrable, and this may be why there aren't any comments.

'a star being a human brand image'=> this reads like a sentence fragment, I am not sure it has anything to do with the words around it.

All the sources cited in the body should be eliminated or footnoted, since ellie doesn't have anything to say about the sources themselves. The fact that the words are not hers is marked by punctuation.

Barthes' quote seems to have to do with originality and not individuality, so it doesn't seem to belong where it is, especially since it's admitted much later on that Warhol, by remaining unique (so much so that he felt the need to assert authorship of unsigned works attributed to others) had failed in his goal.

Aw rats... you're right, she last posted sometime last year. Which is too bad, really, because it's a good article (I'm a big Warhol fan), and I thought that with a little polish it could make the EG.

So do we think flea market? Then someone can polish it up

Flea market it is then.

No takers? What a shame.

Someone else started an entry here: A4458080 but they haven't posted for a year, although the entry is much more recent.

I want to link to an entry on Warhol for my Paula Yates entry (he gave her a huge compliment) that's almost finished so if there's no takers I'll have to link to http://www.warhol.org/ instead.
