My first reaction to this piece was that was exactly what Warhol was up to- deconstructing the Last Supper image into something less, imposing it with consumerism. However, when one understands Warhol’s upbringing, as well as General Electrics, “We bring good things to life!” Along with Dove’s branded beauty, the viewer is able to recognize a different message in the piece. <BR/><BR/>All IS not right in the world, and we cannot price our happiness, needs or futures on anything that is materialistic. I agree that Warhol put a lot of thought into the icons that he used. I feel that he took these logos and used them as symbols perhaps of who Christ is to him, and how he has been revealed in his life. While the Dove and General Electric symbols in this piece help to point towards the message of the piece, that are too in a sense representative of the things that keep us away from him. We need to see past all of the consumerist and post modern values our world presents to us and long to sit at the table which Christ invites us to sit at.Allysonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598931336735232005.post-16451396351875860912009-03-29T18:40:00.000-07:002009-03-29T18:40:00.000-07:00I think Warhol speaks to the truth that our cultur...I think Warhol speaks to the truth that our culture reduces the price a Christian must pay when choosing to follow Christ. I also think he places emphasis on the fact that we seem to think that redemption is placed in material goods - that life will be better if I just have this or that. <BR/><BR/>Also, I think the two logos are very interesting. I don't know if this reading too much into the piece, but to me the symbol of the dove obviously evokes images of the Spirit, especially since the Dove symbol in the piece seems to be descending over Christ. Its also interesting that Dove is a cleansing product. And the General Electric symbol... perhaps eluding to the idea of power? Or the emphasis our culture places on technological/electronic advancements? <BR/><BR/>Just some guesses.Denise Bentumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291733401711624651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598931336735232005.post-68150062513348368342009-03-28T06:55:00.000-07:002009-03-28T06:55:00.000-07:00Perhaps the image that struck me the most about Wa...Perhaps the image that struck me the most about Warhol's image of the last supper is the price tag in the corner. <BR/>I am sure that this (Leonardo's) image has become what it was never intended to be. A gimmick for sales, a decoration, and a piece of art that has been torn apart by a world driven by money. <BR/>Now I will not say that some people when they look at a reproduction on a tablecloth, may find this image to be deeply convicting but it seems to me that our whole perception of what transforming art is, has changed.<BR/>Warhol, I think, did a brilliant job for exposing the truth behind our society. Jesus is reduced to 59 cents. Meaning that the idea of God has become a point from which marketing gurus know that they can make money from - easy money. And why is that? It figures that the money that so many spend on reproductive mugs from China go to an industry so separated from the original intent of the actual work - to glorify God above all else, and to evoke within creation a sense of awe. <BR/>To me Warhol's work brings be back to the sense of awe but in a different way. The light bulb flicks on and I realize that all is not right in the world and as much as ignorance is bliss, God did not call us to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Instead he called us to be active participants, helping others, actually living out the last supper in a world that needs the truth. <BR/>There is one more thing that I need to say, bear with me I know this post is getting quite long! Did Warhol hide symbolism behind the Dove and General Electric logos? Why those two of all the different brands that are out there? I think there is meaning to it in the origins of those two companies. <BR/>Very interesting article though!angela k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13350586310800539112noreply@blogger.com
