The details found on each Brillo Soap Pad Wooden Block features authentic details that Warhol incorporated into his Brillo installations. As the preeminent American artist of the 20th century, Andy Warhol challenged the world to see art differently.
Appropriating images from popular culture, Warhol created many paintings that remain icons of 20th-century art, such as his paintings of Campbell’s Soup Cans, Brillo Soap Boxes, and Marilyn Monroe. Warhol’s art was a mirror of his time, which is reflected in the mass media images he used in his art to confront aspects of American culture. Warhol said “If you want to know all about Ady Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am.
There’s nothing behind it.” While his work speaks eloquently of the concerns and issues of its moment, it also has a universality and conceptual power that transcends any particular period of artistic movement. Arrange these mini works of art over and over to create your own Brillo installation on your desk or bookcase! More details on Galison – Andy Warhol Brillo Wooden Blocks (Set of 8):
