Here's your chance to go deep into rapper Jay Z's fascination with Andy Warhol as Michael Maizels, professor or contemporary art history at the UA, presents his lecture "WarHOV: God of Rap, Prince of Pop," at 21C Museum Hotel in Bentonville this Friday as part of the 21cafe casual conversations evenings.
Whereas Jay Z references many artists including German romantic poet Rilke and Dutch painter Rembrandt, there's something a little different in the way the rapper references the king of pop art.
"Warhol seemed to be somebody with whom he had in his brain entered into a creative dialog rather than somebody whose work he could won to show how rich and sophisticated he was," Maizels explains in this #KUAFArtsBeat segment.
