With the advent of pop art and artistic creativity of Andy Warhol arechanged the classic works of reception of art and art in general. AndyWarhol in his artistic action is insisting on the immediate actions andthe naked form - those are so-called the works of “pure” form, whichcreate a confusing gap; whose “content” is necessary to construct, thatis, to invent. That in the opinion of Andy Warhol can only audiencesand critics - with that he actually makes room for interpretation of hisartistic work. Andy Warhol was aware of the existing “gaps of entity”.He wants the freedom which he enjoys in his artistic expression to alsoprovide to the recipient, he is trying to leave his artwork fully open forreading and interpretation. In his quest he comes to the intelligiblesymbolic acts spontaneously. When the artist himself once firmly justifieshis image - he imposes the audience and the lasting perceptionof his work. Andy Warhol observes that in the creation of mass industrialsociety is a source of the anxiety of the West. The causes of thiscondition are different: the money, the androgynous future of man,machines which are replacing man and colonizing his consciousnessand thus enslave him. Andy Warhol wonders - whether the contemporaryart can offer the optimism?! His optimism could be seen as hisopposition to European pessimism and decadence.
