“Warhol had the tremendous gift of understanding which were the defining myths of a generation, whether or not he belonged to it, the gift of identifying the images which unite a group of disparate individuals in a common mind and placing those images before them as the substance of their being.”
Arthur C. Danto, 'Warhol and the Politics of Prints', in Andy Warhol Prints: A Catalogue Raisonné, Frayda Feldman and Jörg Schellmann, eds., New York, p. 11, 2003.
