Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was a pioneering American artist known for his role in the Pop Art movement, which celebrated consumer culture and mass production. He famously used commercial techniques, like silkscreen printing, to create iconic works featuring celebrities and everyday products, such as Campbell's soup cans. Warhol sought to blur the lines between high art and popular culture, questioning originality and authenticity in art. His intent was to reflect on society's obsession with fame, consumerism, and the mundane, ultimately transforming how we perceive art and its relationship to culture. Warhol's work remains influential in both art and media.
