Andy Warhol was born August 6th 1928. In third grade, Warhol had Sydenham's chorea, the nervous system disease that causes involuntary movements of the extremities, which is believed to be a complication of scarlet fever which causes skin pigmentation blotchiness. However this did not affect his life significantly. As a teenager, Warhol graduated from Schenley High School in 1945. After graduating from high school, his intentions were to study art education at the University of Pittsburgh in the hope of becoming an art teacher. He moved to New York City to pursue his own art. In the 1950’s Warhol became known for his drawings for shoe advertisements. During the 1960’s Warhol created his most known works, doing pop art works of Marilyn Monroe, Campbell’s soup cans, and Elvis Presley. He became a huge american celebrity and respected in the global art community. In 1968 a radical feminist attempted to murder Andy, only giving him serious injuries however through shooting. He survived the attempt. Warhol died in Manhattan at 6:32 am on February 22, 1987 after a surgery.…
In the 1960s an art movement known as Pop Art had begun. Pop art was meant to be simple to aid the audience in creating their own interpretations of the pieces. Two of the leading artists were Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Warhol was a fan of women, unlike Warhol, Lichtenstein was inspired by culture; their paintings are both pieces of Pop Art but they are different because Warhol’s paintings are mostly of women and Lichtenstein’s are of famous cartoon characters. The artists used different techniques to catch their viewers attention. Both pieces of art displayed different messages to the viewer. Although both artists used Pop art, they had several differences in their artwork such as one being a real public figure while the other is a…
Andy Warhol founded the art movement called pop art, and his lifestyle and work both mocked and celebrated the world’s obsession with materiality and fame. On one side, his paintings of distorted everyday items and celebrity faces could be seen as a display for what he viewed as a culture consumed with money and being famous. On the other side, his focus on consumer goods and celebrities, and his own fame and fortune, suggest a life in celebration of the aspects of American culture that his work criticized.…
Andy Warhol, was the creative mind that created pop art. Andy Warhol is a Polish American artist that lived during the twentieth century. Mr. Warhol’s paintings focused on the mass production of commercial goods, as well as under minded the supposed value of art based on the uniqueness of the work. The thing that I enjoy the most about his works is the way that he incorporates silkscreen in order to produce multiples of a single image yet still manages to make each one different and unique in its own special way. He was someone that took inspiration from the people and things that surrounded him and although he was not every well received when he first started out he continued to work and became a very well-known and respected artist.…

He was able to personify upper echelon while making his audience feel his struggles.…

His neutral and obsessive attitude towards popular culture transformed his work into a quintessential reflection of the industrial era. His adaptation of a multilayered process, and obsession with reproduction became the underlying feature that would set him apart from most pop artists. Warhol had a detached crisp style of art making that was centred on commercial imagery found in media outlets such as advertisements, magazine clippings, comics and newspapers. The use of silk screen allowed him to create copious amounts of near identical prints in a short amount of time, however he was not actually interested in the amount he could produce, rather he was more inclined to work with a mechanical process in which silk screen offered, by doing this he was able to replicate and critique the very way popular culture functioned, believing that a mechanistic process would erode the value and meaning of the image, in other words the more exposed you are to an image the more detached you will be towards it, reinforcing the statement that pop artists were generally more critical towards the society they…
Warhol was both an American artist and filmmaker who gained success as a commercial artist. He was one of the artists among many who focused art on ordinary and recognizable subjects that expressed the popular culture of the day during that time (Source 3). He was the first to explore the new art technique of silk screen canvas printing, where an enlarged photographic image was transferred to a silk screen which allowed him to produce a repetitive series of mass-media images with slight contrast (Source 5). Through untraditional techniques, Warhol enforced new ways to create art and helped open up new subjects to explore on. Warhol was a major impact during the Pop Art movement who paved the way for Pop Art to be more renowned to society at the time. However he was widely criticized and unaccepted, especially by traditional artists, during his time. But he never let that change him or how he wished to create art. He freely expressed himself and his homosexuality. As he collaborated with younger artists he exchanged his ideas and his works influenced other pop artists to be more open with their lives and sexual orientation just like he was (Source 5). As one of the most influential pop artists, Warhol captured an authentic American outlook based on packaged products and people (Source…
