Andy Warhol was the absolute master of color...
And multiples of color were his specialty...
It makes perfect sense pastry chefs would flip for Warhol. Let's face it, not all French pastry is wildly colorful like these famous caneles of Bordeaux. So why not box them up in a Warholesque version?
And what about the wonderful but dreary old cacao bean - well it is colorful for the short time it's in the shell. Here Chocolat Cluizel has cleverly colored giant chocolate 'beans' in brilliant Warholian colors..
A wall of colorful chocolate bars - I wouldn't mind that at home, say in the living room...
How about a wall of colorful Macarons - citron, mango, fraise, framboise etc.
Amazing how many "artists" rip off old Andy. Did you say you wanted a "bit" of Warhol...or a "bite"? There's no doubt the guy was out there, always being his very colorful self, like his art, and like your blog, Carol.
Quite a tribute to Warhol! I know very little about him, except the "Entertainment Tonight" style of biographies. I hope that you have a great weekend and be sure to put another log on the fire :)
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
A wall of chocolate bars is MORE genius than Andy Warhol. Can you imagine???

I think artists 'reference' Warhol rather than rip him off.
ReplyDeleteHe created a new language in a way...
Lots to learn from him IMHO William...
