The New Art of Living
In the age of celebrities and TV Icons a new art form has emerged. This medium has little to do with paintings or formal work (although the walking art pieces will often have a medium they dabble in t 
o justify their status). This pseudo art is the art of living your life in the public eye; where composition, colors and visual metaphors are replaced by living outlandishly. Some current artists include Dash Snow, Cobra Snake, as well as others that aren't worth mentioning.
The first one to pioneer this trend was Andy Warhol; while his visual work is important to art history it took the back seat while his personality was in the front seat, driving into stardom.Many would say that Warhol's celeb status and lifestyle was a social commentary (alongside his philosophy and art). In reading "THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and back Again)" I realized that the book wasn't filled with much sound philosophy and was filled with shallow and materialistic stories and experiences. I believe he was a was a moving, breathing social commentary; where his shallow recollections mocked society's current state of affairs. You could say that this is a pretentious interpretation of the Pop Art Master, or that I'm reading too far into Warhol and that his art is what it is; to me that is counter intuitive. Warhol deserves reading into, speculation and interpretation.
