why was this film deemed culturally significant
it's 8 hours of the empire state building in one take

Public relations.
Warhol was a successful scam artist
Andy Warhol is the worst thing to have ever happened to pop culture
>>64579075
This, his only merit was making people believe he was actually talented and insightful without even creating anything.
>>64579882
That's one way to put it ...
This kind of art can't just be judged on the object itself. If you tried, you wouldn't be able to get a trash bag into a museum probably. Andy Warhol, on the other hand, was a talented cultural engineer. Even today people, who are willing to invest themselves into the circumstances of his art, derive enjoyment and fascination from them.
Wow, all these plebs. Try reading a book on art.Not even meming, if you didn't like the film, you are a legit plebeian.

so mad and pleb at the same time
stop please can't take it anymore
>>64580100
does it have something to do with consumerism
Warhol engineered his status to reflect itself as art. He embodied "cool" by force. Anything he touched became a cultural artifact.
People bought into it.
The only real truth is that if anyone pulls any sort of divinity from his art is a true plebeian. Patricians know exactly what he is.
>>64580074

It had never been done before and happened during a point in history where doing things never done before was inspiring.

I probably'll never have a definitive opinion on Warhol. While some contemporary artists and the art market itself seem like huge money laundering schemes pioneered by social engineers, fraudsters and faux experts, I can still see how his art is original. What bugs me is the lengths to which people go to defend the genius of postmodern art. It looks like another case of the Emperor has no clothes.
Pic related, The Physical Impossibility of Death
in the Mind of Someone Living created by a 25 year old Damien Hirst, is lauded as one of the greatest works of art of the 20th century. It's a shark preserved in formaldehyde and probably worth than 20 million dollars.
>>64580323
When art transcended itself for the 4th time into pop philosophy, it became a farce of itself and lost efficacy.
Deeper meaning does not equal deeper impact.
Most of the time, it's just a fucking vase.
>>64580411
>When art transcended itself for the 4th time

Not nihilism, you still don't get it
I suggest you start reading books:)
>>64580380
That specific work by Hirst is considered great because of how fucking cool it is, and the fact that whoever owns that piece needs to have the shark replaced every few years because it isn't submerged in a 100% formaldehyde solution. It asks the question of:
>Is it still an original work if the shark is replaced throughout history?
and
>If this shark is different than the previous one, is it a new piece, or the same?
Kind of like asking
>if you painted the Mona Lisa in a different color scheme, is it the same work?
>>64580485
I'll start with Atlas Shrugged!
landmark / progenitor of structuralist and documentary filmmaking

go back to watching bresson, little boy
>>64580499
Again, you can keep throwing out words you know nothing about because you read them on 4chan or you can start actually studying, the road is up to you.
I suggest beginning with a book related to the topic of the thread:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Philosophy_of_Andy_Warhol
>>64580504
how is filming a building in one shot for 8 hours a landmark of documentary film making
>>64580517
I can't believe how much you're shilling for a man who would scoff at your very image.
>>64580074
I'm surprised they haven't had Eddie Redmayne do a biopic on him yet
>>64580541
I'm not shilling for the man.
It seems you are too weak to comprehend what I'm saying.
Continue with your 4chan pseudo-intellectualism, I hope it serves you well.
>>64580504
watch besson instead of bresson
>>64580524
because that style would be replicated later on by people like james benning

>>64580558

>>64580380
That's fucking awesome
>>64580584
why would james benning film a documentary by focusing on one shot for hours
>>64580627
Ask him.
>people not realizing that Andy's real talent was finding talent in other people, people who would otherwise been ignored
>>64580627
anyway, filming anything for hours it's not a documentary
>>64580643
how is shooting one shot for hours influential to documentaries, which generally don't do that
>>64580670
>which generally don't do that
Lots of people do that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_film
>>64580687
not for hours and only shooting shot while doing absolutely nothing else
>>64580670
Things that are influential tend to be outside the norm
Andy is responsible for the greatest piece of music of the 20th century
>>64580670
>how is shooting one shot for hours influential to documentaries
you should try watching a 9/11 documentary sometime
most of them are still shots on the buildings
>>64580757
>andy warhol
>not lou reed
>>64580716
>not for hours
Many of the are shot over the course of hours and then edited down to 10-20 minutes.
>only shooting shot
I don't know what that means, sorry.
>>64580757
he literally only did the cover art
how the fuck is he "responsible" for the music itself?
Structural film existed way before Empire
>>64580765
You're right, Warhol's art is a tragedy like 9/11
>>64580765
but not for hours
besides, is andy warhol really the first person to think about shooting a still shot for a long time
>>64580776
>>64580813

>Warhol's reputation helped the band gain a higher profile. He helped the band secure a coveted recording contract with MGM's Verve Records, with himself as nominal "producer", and gave the Velvets free rein over the sound they created.

what are you talking about kiddo
>>64580859
well empire literally wasn't a documentary
all i'm asking is how was shooting a still shot of a building for 8 hours influential
did no one honestly think to do a still shot of buildings until this was released
>>64580911
>well empire literally wasn't a documentary
Yes, it literally is a documentary.
>A documentary film is a nonfictional motion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record.
>>64580897
Kubelka and Kren were doing it since the 50s
>>64580911
>all i'm asking is how was shooting a still shot of a building for 8 hours influential
not him, but we all know we wouldn't be having this conversation had an airplane happened to have crashed into the building. People would be sucking Andy's dick harder
>>64580955
Yes, two people were doing it as far back as seven years before Empire.
That is not "way before". Nor is their kind of structuralism similar to Empire's structuralism.

why isn't andy warhol or empire on that wikipedia article, then?

Probably because the article would be very, very long if they decided to list every documentary.

but isn't empire a pioneer for documentaries

>>64581040
Yup.

Andy Warhol was a faggot that wore a wig, went to the hairstylist to get it cut then return a month later with a new wig to get cut.
>>64581047
so then why isn't it on there
>>64580975
seven years is a fucking long time, man. hell, even one year is enough for something stopping being relevant
Empire is relevant because it was Warhol's idea and he was already an icon by 64. it probably influenced some late structuralists, but that doesn't make him one of the pioneers of the genre
>>64581061
That owns
>>64581061

>>64579075
>>64579882
Literally missing the entire point and actually proving the artist's point: The Posts.
The film isn't art but the idea that the film exists is art.

>>64581120
what's the entire point then
>>64581120
Andy Warhol please go back to hell
>>64581066
Ask the people who wrote it?
>seven years is a fucking long time
No, not really. Especially considering, again, the "structuralist" films you're referring to were less than ten in number, had limited distribution to anyone outside of Germany/Austria, and included a beer commercial.
>late structuralists
Benning was making films in the early seventies.
>>64581133

Garbage ass art thats meant to represent some grand testisment that society as a whole devalues art because its obession with images getting repeated so many times they lose value
Ooo, so deep and cool, give that cocksucker a bunch of money ya sheep.
Pollack is shit too, any art that can be replicated by tieing a paint brush to a string from the ceiling and swinging it around is bad, and anyone who pays 50 million dollars for one deserve to be shot by communists.

"Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy."

"Art" that is meant simply to get a message across is bad i my opinion.

Make good looking art faggots, really not that hard. Then slap a message in their to impress all the hairy pitted liberal sluts at college.

I bet you believe you have to be a chef to eat anything other than pizza and burgers,amerilad
I kinda feel like Warhol is overrated and underrated at the same time. On one hand I don't think there was any profound statement to his word, at least not one he actually intended. On the other hand he saw beauty in things other people wouldn't even look at because they'd deem them shallow and boring. And that should be appreciated. In a way something as simple as a can of tomato soup can is beautiful in its simplicity and we never notice it.

Now, this is the problem with art. We like different things, but don't really understand how other people like other things. For example, you might be aware that people like Picasso but you get baffled when they buy his pieces for "outrageous" sums of money.
Warhol is often pretty much a hack... but there is something pretty amazing about making such a long take technically and maybe some artistic interest in a long shot of such a beautiful building over hours
