Andy Warhol

I enjoy the artist Andy Warhol for many different reasons. One would be the fact that he has such simple pictures like a can of Campbell’s soup and cartoonalizes it, my favorite would have to be his work of Marilyn Monroe I’ve always loved Marilyn and seeing the pictures he has done of her is beautiful and I enjoy it very much.

Andy Warhol (1928-1927) originally named Andrew Warhola born in Pittsburg his father was in construction who died in an accident when he was 13 years old. Andy showed interest by drawling and painting and finally enrolling in Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh where he studied commercial art. Finally graduating in 1949 he went to new York where he became an illustrator for magazines like Vouge and Bazaar

I love this photo because it shows Andy's classic Pop art that he is know for and it is of one of my favorite people. It somewhat shows her beauty in a different way of colors that pop out.

I also enjoy this photo by Andy because it shows his pop art and it is something so simple yet he makes it a 3D sort of look and even though you think you need glasses because your eyes start to hurt when you look at it, you just cant look away.

Something that interests me about Andy Warhol is Andy almost died when he was shot three times in the chest by Valerie Solanis. Valerie said that Andy Warhol had too much control over her life. Also Andy was a homosexual yet he was a religious man
