Andy Warhol’s Polaroid Portraits

-
Andy Warhol was best known for his famous silkscreen portraits, which were his bread and butter throughout the 1970s and ’80s. Just as iconic as those paintings were his portraits of the bold-faced names of the period. Celebrities, musicians, fashion moguls and athletes of the time stood before the lens of Warhol’s Polaroid Big Shot camera.

An upcoming exhibition at New York’s Danziger Gallery, “Andy Warhol: Photographer,” showcases photographs taken by the pop-art master, many  rarely seen by the general public, including his Polaroid portraits as well as his lesser-known 8×10 black and white photos. The show will run from March 1 to April 21, 2012.

John Lennon

John Lennon John Lennon was the Beatles' most committed rock & roller, their social conscience, and their slyest verbal wit. After the group's breakup, he and his second wife, Yoko Ono, carried on intertwined solo careers. Ono's early albums presaged the elastic, screechy vocal style of late-'70s new wavers like the B-52's and Lene Lovich.

"If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'." “I am like a chameleon, influenced by whatever’s going on. If Elvis can do it, I can do it. If the Everly Brothers can do it, me and Paul can. Same with Dylan.” "Before Cliff (Richard) and The Shadows, there had been nothing worth listening to in British music." "Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're a...
