ANDY WARHOL
He was involved in many different areas of art - painting, filmmaking, writing, and even music producing. His range is so wide it is difficult to just talk about one or two aspects of his art career. However, he is probably best known for his painting and filmmaking. He was a central figure in the movement known as Pop Art, and his painting played a big role in that.
Point 1
As a Pop Artist, Warhol's paintings contained images from cartoons and advertisements of the time (1960s). One of his most famous Pop Art paintings was the Campbell's Soup cans.
Point 2
Warhol is said to have a unifying element of deadpan style in all of his work. He would also play "dumb" for the media and refuse to explain his work. He was famous for saying that everything you need to know about him and his work is already there, "on the surface". He had a series of "do it yourself" paintings and Rorschach blots that were said to be pop comments about art and what art could be.
