Hi Tom, I looked at that link you sent on Andy Warhol and I found it became a lot clearer to me based on the loss of origin. The fact that some people argue against postmodernism especially when an artist like Andy Warhol is reproducing a piece of art that has already been done before. The way Andy Warhol is an example of how postmodernist art could just be a form of repetition, everything that has already been done before?
Here is the paragraph I liked out of the article:
"Andy Warhol's work uses well-known images, famous faces and masterpieces from the past, such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Mona Lisa. Warhol recreated this painting, calling it 'Thirty are better than one'. The overuse of the Mona Lisa image decreases the link between the original masterpiece. Mona Lisa has already been created originally by Da Vinci, Andy Warhol loved and admired this masterpiece which Da Vinci created and therefore he wanted to enhance it more, but not taking credit for the original image. However some people argue that this work isnt orginal as he isnt creating a new piece, but recreating a masterpiece which was created by someone else. However on the other hand, some may disagree by saying that he is creating a new piece of art work out of an original."
