...that he was naked. (Certainly the children had the biggest ball of all at the Whitney.) But you and I lack even rules. And it is a futile effort that searches for them. Ambiguity is all you will get out of this art scene. The artist is marketing wiseguyness (Warhol makes a six-hour movie of a man sleeping and distributes it as fast as his factories can manufacture it; Lichtenstein can't get off his punch line. "It seemed impossible to print something somebody wouldn't hang. Everybody was hanging everything"). The critic lacks an objective basis of taste...
...Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Arthur H. Goldberg sat through two hours of the Andy Warhol film Blue Movie, then signed warrants for the seizure of the film and the arrest of the manager, projectionist and ticket taker. The Supreme Court had ruled in 1961 that authorities must grant a preliminary hearing before subjecting the contents of a bookstore to a civil seizure (thus possibly driving it out of business).

The home movies make it seem as though Andy Warhol tagged along...
...pioneer among the American "film-as-art"-ists, Brakhage's goal is to make films which will maintain lasting value and sustain an infinite number of screenings. As such his medium is hardly the mass-age: Joyce and Picasso imply Brakhage far more directly than do Warner Bros. or Warhol. In fact, Brakhage's relationship to the tidal wave of free-form image-ination films is strikingly similar to Picasso's to cubism...
