Warhol was a devout Christian (Orthodox), don't forget.


 No.3454

>>3401

Pretty sure Andy was a catholic. At least if Songs for Drella wasn't lying to me.

He was a unique guy.


 No.3455

>>3454

Nah he had like a weird secret Orthodox thing going on.

He was also pretty freaking gay so I don't know how he reconciled that.


 No.3456

>>3455

He was a member of an eastern catholic church. I think he just had an appreciation for orthodoxy.

And yeah I don't know how he grappled with being openly gay.


 No.3460

>>3456

Weren't his parents or grandparents some time of Orthodox Slavs? That's what I thought. I guess he just tried not to worry too much about his homosexuality and how he handled it throughout his life, or at least he kept that away from the public.

Better that way, that's a really personal thing.

According to his own writtings he was a virgin.

although in one of his interviews he said he only had sex once.

He was very serious about his faith, which was mostly orthodox. Apparently he always kept a bible in his room that he would read every single day.

His religious series were one of my favorites of him.

A pity then that so many american churchs are so mundane and ugly.


 No.5378

>>5377

Sorry to disagree with your dubs but I think perhaps many of the adherents of these sects would count the austerity and plainness of their buildings as a virtue, and closer unto God for it. Coincidentally, they'd also be quick to paint the perceived lavishness and aesthetic appeal of their counterpart's places of worship as nothing but vanity and sinful decadence.


 No.5379

>>5377

It's meant to be like this. It is called protestantism. Beauty is idolatry or something and effort of the devil.

>>5378

See?

anyone who goes to church just to see the gold is shallow.

those expenses can be used to do Gods work instead.

Ornating the temples of God is his work.
