Andy Warhol


I like the painting of Marilyn Monroe because shes still good in either color she's in.In the first picture its a natural black and white.In the second picture she has yellow hair and pink in her teeth and eyeliner,birthmark and background. I think this could represent girls a lot because most girls love pink and that's what in the picture.

He Born on August 6, 1928, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
he moved to New York to become a Commercial actor.Andy Warhol was a successful magazine and ad illustrator who
became a leading artist of the 1960s Pop art movements.
He ventured into a wide variety of art forms, including performance art, filmmaking, video installations and writing, and controversially blurred the lines between fine art and mainstream aesthetics. He also graduated from college with his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1949. I would desrcibe his work as amazing because he knows where and how to put colors into his drawings making it wanted to be seen by the public.
In 1961, Warhol debuted the concept of "pop art" paintings that focused on mass-produced commercial goods. In 1962, he exhibited the now-iconic paintings of Campbell's soup cans
Andy Warhol had a rough road at the age of 8 he got a disease called chorea while Warhol was sick in bed, his mother was a skillful artist herself. she gave him his first drawing lessons, and Drawing soon became Warhol's favorite childhood pastime . He was pressured and not accepted because he was gay but he still went on and became successful.
Warhol once said that “once you 'got' pop, you could never see a sign the same way again. And once you thought pop, you could never see America the same way again." I think  he’s right because once you put pop into something you won’t see it the same way you saw it before.
