Baby Red Spots On Legs

Do It Yourself (Landscape) - Andy Warhol

Do It Yourself (Landscape) - Andy Warhol (1962)
A work to be completed according to the scheme equal number / color not belonging to a series of five paintings.
A clear challenge to the user, which starts from a desire to distance themselves from the idea that the artist is a special person. Stereotype that is grounded nell'aneddotica, from which they develop a set of beliefs - for example, that the future artist manifests his talents since childhood and that this is done in special situations (remember the episode of the young Giotto drawing a sheep prodigiously), or having a personality out of the ordinary, often ending up in the madness.
Well, Warhol wants to break with all this and ask you to reflect on the fact that art is not necessarily sublime (as well as could be seen in the romance). Also not afraid to take note of the fact that in a society where consumerism is setting up with ever greater force, even art is subject to commodification.
