Wants vs. Needs












Want!!!

Currently obsessed with Andy Warhol's iconic flowers...
clearly, I'm not the only one.

I snapped this last image at 
an amazing local art event last month:
"The Modern Show/Famous for 15 Minutes -
Icons of the 1970's and 1980's"
More on this tomorrow!

De Gournay teamed with Warhol. Just briljant!

My Interior Life said...

I have a print of some Warhol flowers in my daughter's bedroom - only they're different flowers. But I love them. So fun and vivid. Just what I needed on a Monday!

I adore Warhol's work; it's the epitome of Pop and very colourful, too! I agree with Mariska above!

That want might just cross into need on this one!

drollgirl said...

as my mom would say, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! ahhahaha

i work in an art gallery and am exposed to a lot of art that i CAN NEVER AFFORD. it kind of sucks. i don't really mind too awful much, as it is nice to know how beautiful it is, and to know how fabulous your taste is. sigh. at least that is what i tell myself. :)

Cheerful. Happy. Sunny. Engaging!
All of these images evoke these words, for me.
I'm especially drawn to the floral images.
Looking forward to more!
Happy Day, Susan!

I completely dig Andy Warhol. His flowers are just amazing. Interesting to see your post...I've got some note cards with a shoe print/saying of his on them and was just staring at them today thinking about his genius.

pve design said...

Andy Warhol wanted to paint my Mother-in-law. Why she never let him is besides me. I loved going out to Studio 54 and seeing him. He was easy to spot with that hair of his. Love his work.
