A man of many talents, Andy Warhol, born and raised in Pittsburg MA and his provocacitive pop art once defined a generation. Warhol worked commercially into the 60’s with determination to someday establish himself as a painter. Warhol used large scale references to popular culture, usually repeated multiple times, to shock his audience. In 1968, an attempt was made on his life. His response- party. Warhol used drugs, slept around, so on and so forth. He moved on to someday feel as though he was not a commercial artist
Whenever I used to think of Andy Warhol, my general feeling was whats so special about repetitive campbells cans. I think I have a better grasp now but who knows for sure.
