Love, Love, Love

by Andy Warhol

Bedazzled lovers, playful cupids, luscious red lips, a multitude of hearts, and love was one of Andy Warhol's favorite subjects, and this enchanting gift book gives us forty-three of his wittiest, most charming illustrations of passion and romance. Beautifully designed, this collection is sprinkled throughout with Warhol's inimitable aphorisms, such as "You need to let little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you," and "You should have contact with your closest friends through the most intimate and exclusive of all media - the telephone." Love, Love, Love is the ideal gift between friends or for anyone struck by Cupid's arrow.

About the author

Andy Warhol was an American visual artist, film director and producer. A leading figure in the pop art movement, Warhol is considered one of the most important American artists of the second half of the 20th century. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best-known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).

He must have been a bit unwell (or at least completely disappointed by this edition haha)

Delicious cheesiness. Think of one of those Hallmark impusle buy small books by the counter with huge quotes splashed amidst cheesy graphics...this is Warhol's version of that on the subject of love. Makes a rather bleak Valentine's Day gift actually, as Warhol's little book ends up sanctioning being alone and avoiding the traditional forms of Romantic love. A cute book to keep near the commode, or to drop off at the nearest 12 step program meeting place for Romantics Anonymous. I'm selling this on EBAY...seems to be hard to find...it's in decent condition..some slight flaws which need disclosure..
