Avant-garde and Deconstruction: An Analysis of Andy Warhol’s Dionysian Spirit Dimension

Abstract

Andy Warhol, the artist known as the "king of consumption", has reached his peak in popularity and influence in the second half of the 20th century. Through a series of artistic expressions of anticonnotation, breaking away meaning and removing value, his works have caused deep impact and subversion of modern aesthetic moral principles. This coincides with Nietzsche's philosophical proposition in "The Birth of Tragedy", because he saw through the "illusion" of art. Based on this, this article intends to cut to the case from three perspectives of the discrimination analysis of Dionysian Spirit art, Warhol's avant-garde and pioneer spirit inheritance of modern art, and his deconstruction and irony presentation of postmodern art, so as to deeply analyze the spirit dimension of Dionysian Spirit in Andy Warhol's art.
