Angels, Angels, Angels Details
In the 1950s, before he made his famous paintings of soup cans, Marilyn, and Chairman Mao, Andy Warhol produced thousands of witty, whimsical drawings. This book, filled with drawings culled from the archives of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, collects images of one of his favorite subjects - angels - in an irresistible small-format edition. Here are sturdy cherubs, graceful seraphim, and mischievous cupids - all accompanied by playful quotations from Warhol's books and diaries, such as "I've never met a person I couldn't call a beauty" and "People have so many problems with love, always looking for someone to be their... souffle that can't fall." Beautiful and charming, this book will make a perfect gift for anyone who loves angels or Andy.
Reviews
I bought this book as a gift for the first time when it came out in 1995. I bought it for a friend who wasn't feeling like herself. It is a huge pick me up and a great reminder that we humans are perfect because of our imperfections.
