Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A critical close-up of Warhol's famous film and its cultural impactIn Andy Warhol's silent black-and-white movie, Blow Job (1964), a youth is filmed as he is apparently being given the sex act named in the title. The 35-minute film is accentuated by the paucity of expression on the actor's face: we see only his head and shoulders, rigidly framed so that all offscreen space has to be imagined, or avoided. Sometimes the young actor looks bored, sometimes as if he is thinking, sometimes as if he is aware of the camera, sometimes as if he is not. Like the protagonists of other Warhol films, he is apparently left to his own devices. Warhol's 16mm films (including Blow Job, Sleep, Empire, and Henry Geldzahler), with their take on boredom, voyeurism, and the supposedly unmoving camera, continue to be influential today. In their own era of the early 1960s, they forced avant-garde film away from various forms of romantic illusionism and onto the reality of the specific film-as-projected. The film process itself became inseparable from the act of the viewer's viewing. In this extended examination of Blow Job, Peter Gidal deciphers the structures, abstract and concrete, of Warhol's crucial film. Warhol's techniques--the use of the close-up, the general use of camera movement, and the complete theatrical mis-en-scene--(especially when compared to the Godardian cinema verit' of the time) make the materiality of the film process, its making and viewing, ineluctably present. Peter Gidal has written books on the works of Samuel Beckett, Andy Warhol, and Gerhard Richter, as well as on avant-garde materialist film. An experimental filmmaker himself, Gidal has had retrospectives at the London Film Co-op, LUX, the National Film Theatre, Centre Pompidou, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was one of the twentieth century's most important artists and cultural icons.…

Hardcover. Quarto. Hardcover. Yellow paper bound boards with red lettering, in a pictorial jacket. 216 pages : color illustrations ; 31 cm. "Thirteen years after his death, Andy Warhol's art is more dominant and omnipresent than ever before. In particular, his serial works - the Campbell's Soup Can, Jackie, Marilyn, Mao, and others - have been reproduced everywhere and have profoundly influenced our perception and thinking about mass culture. This striking book is a highly original survey of Warhol's entire creative output." "The book begins with an overview of Warhol's work by Ernst Beyeler and Georg Frei that ranges over the Campbell's Soup Can pictures, Warhol's first attempt at using a succession of images based on the same motif in various paintings; the early silk screen prints (portraits of such teenage idols as Elvis Presley, Warren Beatty, and Natalie Wood); the Disaster pictures, which reveal the dark side of American consumer positivism; and the later works, including the Last Supper in which Warhol celebrates his own immortality. Peter Gidal then discusses two of Warhol's single works, the monumental Saturday's Disaster and the thirty-minute film Blow Job, and Edward Sanders examines some of Warhol's images in the context of his life and times. Together the text and copious illustrations are a magnificent testimony to Warhol's contributions to the world of art."--Jacket. G. Ex-lib with typical markings.
