Barney’s Beanery: Clara Bow & LGBTQ+ Activism

“Taylor and one of her buddies rolled into Barney's Beanery, joining about 7 other people in a booth near the windows.” TMZ Link

Excerpts From Wikipedia:

Older Hollywood actors such as Clara Bow, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Judy Garland and Rita Hayworth were all regulars in their day.[1][3] By the 1960s, the neighboring Sunset Strip had become an important music center, and Jim Morrison (who was reportedly thrown out of Barney's for urinating on the bar)[1][4] and Janis Joplin became regulars (Barney's was the final place Joplin visited before her death in October 1970). Poet Charles Bukowski hung around,[3] as did artists Ed Kienholz and others associated with the Ferus Gallery, which was located nearby on La Cienega Boulevard.[1]

…

In the 1930s,[8] 1940s,[1] or around 1953[9] John Anthony put up a sign…behind the bar that read "FAGOTS [sic] – STAY OUT". Though Anthony was known to be antagonistic towards gays,[1][10] going as far as posing (in front of his sign) for a picture in a 1964 Life article on "Homosexuality in America" over a caption where he exclaims "I don't like 'em...",[11] the sign ostensibly was put up as a response to pressure from the police who had a tendency towards discriminatory practices against homosexuals and consequently establishments that catered to the group.[8][9]

After Anthony died in 1968, efforts to remove the sign continued. A coalition of gay activist groups organized a zap of the restaurant on February 7, 1970, to push for its removal; the sign came down that day.[12] The sign was put up and taken down several times over the next 14 years, and the restaurant's matchbooks also bore the line, but that practice ended in December 1984, days after the city of West Hollywood voted itself into existence. Then-mayor Valerie Terrigno, the entire city council and gay rights activists marched into Barney’s and relieved the wall of the offending sign.[13] It was held by Morris Kight for many years and now rests in the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives.[citation needed]

Ken Price (1935 – 2012, American), Drawings.

“Drawing is the primary thing,” Price said. “It’s where essential thinking goes on, and it’s the soul connection too. A good drawing can cut right to the essence of something.”

Drawing was a central part of Ken Price’s practice throughout his career. He found a powerful source of inspiration in the landscapes that surrounded him, including the volcanoes and seascapes of Hawaii, which he visited regularly, and the high desert of Taos, New Mexico, where he lived for many years. Describing his home in Taos, Price said, “The sky here is connected to the land; it’s not like anything I’ve seen anywhere else. The sunsets aren’t pretty and sweet, they are spectacular and amazing.”

Ken Price (1935–2012) was born in Los Angeles. After graduating from college in 1959, Price returned to Los Angeles and was given his first one-person exhibition at the now legendary Ferus Gallery in 1960.

THE FRIDAY PIC is my shot of some of Andy Warhol’s 32 paintings of Campbell’s Soup cans, from MoMA, which went on view 60 years ago to the day (as of tomorrow, at least) at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. They pretty much launched Warhol’s career as a Pop artist, and I’d say that to this day they still stand as his most important, revolutionary project.

That’s because they are just about the first great example of the pure appropriation of popular culture into the field of Fine Art.  Whereas Marcel Duchamp appropriated out of Fine Art, you might say, hoping to undo the whole category, Warhol was utterly committed to Fine Art and used appropriation to expand its limits and powers. That’s why it’s important to see just about everything Warhol did in a Fine Art light, and why its a mistake to see him as a true participant in popular culture, for all the space he took up in it.

The Beatles, possibly even Sonny and Cher, made more important contributions to popular culture than Warhol ever would; his true genius—his truly vital move—lay in seeing popular culture as a new medium that Fine Art could be built from. But that meant that pop culture couldn’t just be sampled into standard collage or painting or sculpture, which was what most of Warhol’s British and American colleagues got up to. Pop culture had to be kept intact, almost unchanged, to work as a truly new medium. It couldn’t be diluted with turpentine.

Revealing the Secret to Re -Painting Andy Warhol's Painting: Three Denny Ja's iconic works

Denny Ja is not only a political observer, but also a Renaissance artist, a writer, a teacher, and a businessman. One of his most famous art works is the work of three iconic works of Andy Warhol. In this article, we will reveal the secret behind the process of re-painting these works. The first work that was re -painted by Denny JA was "Campbell's Soup Cans," which was originally displayed in the Ferus art gallery in Los Angeles in 1962. Warhol made 32 canvas paintings with soup cans, with each painting representing a different soup. Denny JA took a very different approach in re -painting the work. He uses a darker color palette, with white and black to be the dominant color. In addition, Indonesian heritage began to be revealed in the work, where the image of brown sugar was clearly attached to the soup can in the painting. This might be the way Denny's visit to the traditional Asian market inspired his work. The second work that was re -painted by Denny JA was "Marilyn Monroe," one of his most famous Andy Warhol works. Warhol first made this painting after Marilyn Monroe's death in 1962. The original painting of Marilyn Monroe's face with a variety of different background colors. Denny Ja followed the original way of Warhol in drawing Marilyn Monroe's face, but in his work, Denny experienced Zhuzhing Up from Marilyn, strengthening iconic femininity that never had aged. The third work that was re-painted by Denny Ja was "Elvis Presley," a popular picture among people who like Warhol. Denny Ja only painted the face of the picture, which is the target of the owner of the original painting. Denny uses the same palette as the original Warhol work, with red, blue, and green dominating the image. However, social honesty is seen in Denny's work where he paints smooth skin and handsome face Elvis, who created a more humanity that is more human and described in the work. Although all three of Denny's works are a re-painting of Andy Warhol's work, no one can deny that he has really made his own work. With a unique palette and a different tone, Denny Ja has given birth to new and interesting new works. More and more people are starting to appreciate Denny Ja's paintings and innovative and original appearance in highlighting Indonesian elements. Denny Ja gave a new view to the iconic work of Warhol, and succeeded in bringing elements of Indonesian culture into the spirit of Warhol art in his work. This is an aspect of art that allows artists to bring new views inspired by the small parts of our lives into their work. This is a unique and original work, and Denny Ja has proven that Indonesia can also support a very pleasant work of art.

From • @tsptr We've all been there. It's late, you're at home and you're spooked by one of your works of art – an Andy Warhol screen print of a smiling, smug Chairman Mao – so you pick up a gun and shoot it. One as a warning, the next through his eye Dennis Hopper was taking drugs in order to sober up quicker so he could start drinking again at the time. His friend, and the works creator, Andy Warhol thought the gun play was hilarious and subsequently annotated the two holes labelling them ‘warning shot’ and ‘bullet hole’ Hopper bought one of Andy Warhol’s first soup-can prints for seventy-five bucks at the 1962 Ferus Gallery show, Warhol’s first on the west Coast. It should have been a good investment but then Hopper lost it to his first ex-wife as part of the divorce settlement. She also picked-up a Roy Lichtenstein that Hopper had bought for just over a thousand dollars. The ex-wife sold it for $3k. If she’d kept it she could have made a cool $16 million. But it was never about money for Hopper: “My idea of collecting is not going and buying bankable names, but buying people that I believe are really contributing something to my artistic life” It was Vincent Price who first hipped Hopper to art. He told him “You need to collect—this is where you need to put your money.” But it wasn’t about money—it was “a calling.” “I always thought that acting was art, writing was art, music was art, painting was art, and I’ve tried to keep that cultural vibe to my life” Hopper became friends with a number of artist including Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Ed Ruscha. Hopper left a vast collection of artwork—paintings by Warhol, Haring, Schnabel and Basquiat. He saw himself as a custodian—keeping the art until he died and it was given over to a museum #tsptr #dennishopper #andywarhol #chairmanmao #popart https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0OOC7rj9wVjNRPxT2EbEs3Ahkl8C3SVwRsys0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Andy Warhol

United States, 1928-1987

“Campbell's Soup Can”, 1964

Oil on canvas

Gift of Robert H. Halff through the Modern and Contemporary Art Council

Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans became Pop art icons when they were first exhibited at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1962. The show featured thirty-two paintings, tepresenting each variety of soup available at that time. Like other Pop artists, Warhol appropriated images and techniques associated with commercial culture - he carefully reproduced the distinctive Campbell's Soup label to mimic its appearance in supermarkets and advertisements for the product. Although the subject had popular appeal, it also had a personal association for the artist: when asked why he chose to paint Campbell's Soup cans, he replied: "I used to drink it. I used to have the same lunch every day, for twenty years." This painting was commissioned by the Campbell's Soup Company in 1964 as a gift for their retiring board chairman.

It is widely held that today mark a seminal moment in ‘pop art’ when Andy Warhols Campbells Soup Can Exhibition opened at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1962. This exhibition turned the art world upside down. It really started the Pop Art movement and although often copied never really equalled. He did not just limit himself to painting but was involved in films and music, via Lou Reed, Nico, and the Velvet underground.

The first is Andy himself and the last three are examples of his work. The examples of his work are iconic, and whilst will not have seen these works in person, a lot more people will be aware of them and will be able to say those are by Andy Warhol.
