Andy Warhol

After discussing Andy Warhol in class I decided to take a further look at some of his work and see what other kinds of paintings he did. As a pop art painter he created a work different than many of the people before him. Warhol's style and the pop art movement in general are completely different than the paintings of any other era.





Many of Warhol's paintings have been made into posters and replicated for distribution. His Marilyn Monroe painting is a painting that I see constantly. Many people have even starting duplicating the type of art he used in that painting and placing pictures of themselves in and distorting the colors in the same way. There are even websites where you can upload a picture and it will change the colors for you.




I think part of the reason he became so famous is because many celebrities were part of his work, like this painting of McJagger.



I like alot of his art, I think its very unique.
