Oregon Daily Emerald Thursday, January 27, 2005 “All censorship exists to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and institutions. ” George Bernard Shaw | Writer in Art Art WorId / The reopened Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art BY RYAN NYBURG introduces Warhol's PULSE EDITOR —Pop art screen prints In any case, it as a trip throi n response to the excessive amount of ab stract art being produced by his contempo raries, artist Andy Warhol began creating Pop Art. Apparently, the idea was that Camp bell's Soup cans were the appropriate anti formless colors, never seemed to catch on, through any modern art gallery will prove. I've probably already | some art history majors Pop Art a fail|0 mover™ proven my ignorance auuui the subject to anybody who actual knows anything about it. My blithe comments and irreverent are an insult to the pro art criticism, and I will forever be branded a pathetic impostor in the world of art On that note, let's take a journey through the recently reopened Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Mand its "Andy Warhol's Dream America" exhibition. WARHOL, page 11 ■ In my opinion RYAN MURPHEY MR. SOPHISTICATION Slacker lifestyle only temporarily satisfying In the world of books, movies and guidance counselors, the end of something good means the beginning of something better. In the real world, it usually means a difficult time of adjustment and a sense of longing for "how it used to be." The end of this column is combined with the end of a college experience, the end of a radio show and the end of the pastthree-and-a-half years, all with no new beginnings yet in sight. It would be dishonest to say that it is notthe least bit depressing. It would also be dishonest to say it is not absolutely wonderful to get home from work and have nothing to do other than sleep or play videogames. MURPHEY, page 10 PULSEMUSIC PULSEMUSIC Ethan Daniel Davidson, "Free the Ethan Daniel Davidson Five": A jump from genre to genre can often make a CD feel messy or disorganized. But "Free the Ethan Daniel Davidson Five," the latest release from Ethan Daniel Davidson, somehow manages to pull it off. With a range of influences from country to folk to rock, this CD can appeal to just about everyone. If country isn't your thing — although the hilarious "I Can't Drink You Pretty'' shouldn't be skipped—there are also rock songs, most notably the cover of John Prine's "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore." This song is also just one of the many that contains political stances. "Free the Ethan Daniel Davidson Five" brings in influences from folk music as well, and "Conquered Beneath a Boxcar Moon" soothingly represents a tune that could be found on an Arlo Guthrie album. "I Need You Like A House On Fire" is a slow, serene tune with simple guitar chords and drum beats.
