We would like to tell you about Andy Warhol. He was an artist and was from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Andy Warhol was a POP artist and painted most of his work in the 1960’s. Pop Artists used people and objects from popular culture. This means the things that we see and use everyday. He often repeated those things over and over again (like soup cans).
Pop artists did this a lot because they thought that many people did not stop and look at the things that they see every day. He also used photographs of famous people like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.
Andy Warhol started as an illustrator, then became famous for his work as a painter, then a filmmaker, a record producer, and an author. He was BUSY!
