Quote of Note | Jerry Saltz

“Warhol once said, ‘If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings.’ Okay, let’s. Warhol’s work is easy to like, especially now that it seems—at first glance, anyway—less strange than it did when it was created. Much of it is large, shiny, and brightly colored; Warhol’s smudged, skidding silk-screens make his images pop. There are those clashing electric colors that no one ever put together before—it’s as though he discovered a new note on the saxophone.
