Andy Warhol and ‘Interview’
Filed Under video
Andy Warhol, this greedy and meddlesome person even had his own magazine, too. Maybe he wanted to use his skills to anything related. As we saw on the video that we watched in the class, he seems that he looks cynical and doesn’t care about anything. But when you see these magazines, you’ll see how a meddling guy he is. He just like to talk about everything what happens in the world and he tried to show everything naturally itself. He said that the best way to do an interview was to visit the subject, ideally in their own home, with no questions and no preconceptions and revealing image of the subject via the topics he or she chooses to discuss. He used the term ‘voice portrait’ which catches everything coming out of interviewee’s mouth even ‘umm’ and ‘hmm’. This magazine just get one over with any other magazines. It was more fashionable than fashion magazine like ‘vogue’. It also dealt more natural with people’s personal stories than any other magazine. So ‘Newsweek’ noted that ‘Interview’ magazine had give birth to ‘People’, among others, and Warhol has inspired at least one hundred books in the last thirty years. His finer instinct influenced on not only the way looking in to celebrities’ gossip and fashion but also news, social and so on. Maybe he tried to show off his talent. Maybe he wanted to communicate with people. But my thought, he really tried to show what is going on now with his distinctive view.
