Shoes, Shoes, Shoes
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes collects the outrageous and bedazzling images of shoes - from spikes to boots to mules - that are some of Warhol's icon images. Accompanied throughout by witty Warhol quotations, such as "I decided that being a shoe salesman is a really sexy job," these forty drawings, prints, and watercolors demonstrate the Pop master's special talent for transforming...more

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes is a slim, practically pocket-sized collection of drawings, prints, and watercolours of shoes – real and imagined – by Andy Warhol.

While his ruminations on beauty and the president are amusing, the shoes are the real stars here. The collection spans Warhol’s career, from his famed stint as an advertising illustrator in the mid-5...more

Shoes Shoes Shoes is a book of drawings from the mid 50s to the early sixities with quotes about fashion, style and women.

Overall, I give this book four and a half stars because the shoe drawings were underwhelming. The quotes were nice though.
*It is to be noted that the shoes reminded me of 18th century heels. Don't know if...more

clearly...shoes. i'm not a huge fan of warhol's work, but am fascinated by him.
Andy Warhol got his start sketching shoes for advertisements in the 1950s.
a book that combines two of my favourite things in the world.
Lots of fun!
