Have you ever heard of Pop Art paintings? Do you know any pop art artists? Andy Warhol was one of the pop art artists, in facts he is the prince of pop art. In this analysis we are going to talk about him, how his artwork affects his society, and also why did I choose him to be my chosen visual artist.
Who is Andy Warhol?
Andy Warhol was born on the 6th of August 1928 and died on February 22nd 1987. He died when he was 59 years old due to some illness and complications. As I mentioned before he was the Prince of Pop Art. He was an American. He is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and the central figure of the American Pop Art Movement.
How did his artwork affect his society?
His most popular pop art paintings were the paintings that had a unique object. He didn’t draw celebrities or someone/something famous but his objects were the uncommon ones. His objects were the daily things that he found everyday, for example; the banana, he painted the banana. The most famous one was the Tomato Soup or Campbell's Soup Cans. The painting was for the soup can company. The painting was first exposed in Los Angeles. After this was published Warhol started to paint celebrities; Marilyn Monroe for example.
Why did I choose him to be my chosen visual artist?
I know him from one of his paintings; the Marilyn Monroe pop art. The painting was brilliant. He combined so many colours and it made me in to the pop art paintings. I love colours and he showed that in his paintings, that is why I choose him as my chosen visual artist.
The Prince of Art; Andy Warhol was a great artist after all; he expressed his ideas in an extraordinary way that people at that time would not expect. The Soup Can pop art was just brilliant. He was thinking creatively that what made me think that he was different from other visual artist.
