Book excerpt: A CRITICAL CONFRONTATION. What can we learn from comparing the two most unique cultural figures in living memory? Warhol and Chris Chan: Both became famous while producing artwork that was often met with derision. Both became the focus of intense interest and curiosity. Their indelible personalities provoked fascination, laughter, and--at times--horror. In spite of their strangeness--or because of it--they reflect particularly pertinent aspects of the world around them. They are thought of as the oddest of oddities, and yet they represent the course of our society as a whole. This comprehensive study investigates the parallels and divergences between Warhol and Chris Chan, both of whom can be seen as bellwethers of cultural shifts. The two are compared in terms of how they relate to the following elements--from the fundamentals of life to the themes of our age: Names & Words, Collecting & Hoarding, Consumerism, Technology & Media, Women . . . Sex . Transgenderism . . Femdom, Fame: Mythologies of Self & Multiverse, and Recording. Through pathos and ridiculousness, in an uncertain world that's constantly changing, we trace the human spirit as it passes from the golden age of Americana... through the high Warholian era... and now into social media squalor.
