I came up with this after watching several documentaries about Andy Warhol. In one, his brother says that he became very ill when he was 9 or 10. His mother took loving care of him and nursed him back to health. She would daily feed him Campbell's soup from the familiar red and white labeled can. That's when I found my answer: Art is personal. What the artist hopes for is that the viewer will have a similar reaction and appreciate it the way the artist does. He succeeded with his Campbell soup can series to say the least.

Yea, the best artists create for themselves, based on what is true and real for them. If other people enjoys it too, that's a bonus.
Any reccomendations on a paticular documentary? Or better yet a biography? Have been meaning to read one on Warhol.
