Warhol Film Screening—Interior vs. Exterior/Public vs. Private

Floor 3, Theater

During his lifetime, Warhol actively crafted a public persona suggesting that he had little use for intimate relationships. In truth, Warhol had deep and long-lasting friendships and relationships with the people in his circles. These affections, and likewise his intimate obsessions, are revealed in works such as his 1950s ballpoint ink drawings of boys and of men’s feet. For the most part these works remained unknown until after the artist’s death, but are echoed in Warhol’s earliest film work, where subjects were drawn from his most intimate of circles: lovers, fellow artists, poets, dancers, and the like. The silent short films in this program, shot on Warhol’s hand-held Bolex camera in intimate and often underlit domestic settings, required Warhol to be situated no further than three feet from his subjects—the objects of his desire—which gives lie to his self-wrought distanced and misanthropic persona.
