This is a great doc by the bbc on prehistoric cave art. It explores the mystery of why and how humans began representing 3-d objects on a 2-d plane.

warhol is great.
i remember when i was in my early 20's too and hating warhol was the hip thing to do.
but that fades and respect and apreciation for the man are quick to take its place when one has suficiantly studied all the movements and see where the road was going/is going/has stopped going.

It was going to shit. It is going going to shit. It never stopped going to shit.
Just because it makes sense as a step in the history of art it doesn't mean it's "great". World Wars might have been necessary steps in the history of the world. Doesn't mean they are worthy of respect and appreciation.

>you're just not as mature as me yet, that's why you don't like what I like
do you realize how much of a condescending prick you sound like?

I recall Robert Hughes was critical of Warhol in The Mona Lisa Curse and elsewhere, I guess this elderly art historian is really just a 20-year old hipster at heart. His work may have began with a critical and satirical edge but quickly began blurring the line before becoming the very thing he sought to criticize.

These are absolutely essential:

Shock of the New by Robert Hughes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3ne7Udaetg&list=PLFtSvldL7Mh4ismj4BgH33pBR9hbtBkxz

About the transition between 19th century and 20th century, going over the main movements and also touching how technology, architecture, politics and so on changed art through that time. Fundamental to understanding modern art.

Ways of Seeing with John Berger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDE4VX_9Kk&list=PLlhSx0L1hpaGKfq1qXe1vWUhG1EgIN9Yf

I think this is perfect as a first call. It's a great introduction on how we see art and how we can talk about art. /ic/ needs to watch this very much.
