Andy Warhol was an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art.
Obsessed with celebrity, consumer culture, and mechanical reproduction. Andy Warhol created some of the most iconic images of the 20th century. Warhol drew widely from popular culture and everyday subject matter, creating works like his Campbell's Soup Cans, Brillo pad box sculptures, and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, using the medium of silk-screen printmaking to achieve his characteristic hard edges and flat areas of colour.
