Big Al Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 "See, the thing about Andy, man, is that he could take a paint brush and go 'whoosh' with it, but deep down south, and I mean at a gutbucket level, he truly meant a big 'wayoosh,' the greens and blues--and I mean the deep creole gutbucket blues--rolling loudly against a thunderous backdrop of swing that just went 'waaaaaaaayoosh wup wup worrrwowlllllrrrrowl oosh bip bip oosh bip bip...... ooooosh.' That's how Andy had the blues." Quote

Jim R Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 So... did Warhol stand up when he painted, or did he do like Jackson Pollock and... um... crouch...? (Sorry Al- this can only detract from what you posted. ) Quote

Dmitry Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 FWIW, i enjoyed the Civil War series and will definitely watch the Warhol. I assume it'll be on PBS. Quote
