LECTURE/SCREENING: DOUGLAS CRIMP ON WARHOL'S PAUL SWAN
Thursday, February 4 · 6:30pm
Art History professor and author Douglas Crimp speaks on Andy Warhol's Paul Swan
(dir. Andy Warhol, US, 1965, 66 minutes). An important critic in the development of
postmodern art theory, Professor Crimp is the Fanny Knapp Allen Professor of Art History
and Professor of Visual and Cultural Studies at the University of Rochester, NY.
Once hailed as "the most beautiful man in the world," dancer, poet, and artist Paul Swan
was in his eighties when Andy Warhol filmed him performing his "aesthetic" dances,
first created in the teens and twenties. Warhol keeps the camera running as the
elderly dancer changes his skimpy costumes on-screen or spends long periods behind a
curtain looking for the right slippers. The two-reel color film reflects Warhol's
life-long interest in dance and an atypical fascination with aging beauty.
Screening will take place at International House, 3701 Chestnut Street. Free
This program is sponsored by the Department of History of Art, the Cinema Studies
Program, and the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania.
