Andy Warhol

Never before have I encountered more intriguing works of art than those done by
Andy Warhol.  I have been curious about his life ever since I saw his work in
Milwaukee.  I saw his famous work of the Campbell's Soup Can.  By viewing this,
one can tell he is not your average artist.  I'm sure his life is full of
interesting events that shaped him into who he was.  As an artist myself, I
would like to get to know the background of his life.  I may then be able to
appreciate his styles and understand why and how his works were created.  His
life is as interesting as his artistic masterpieces. Andrew Warhola (his
original name) was born one of three sons of Czech immigrants, somewhere in
Pennsylvania on either August 6, 1928 or on September 28, 1930 (the date on his
birth certificate).  His father died when Andy was at a very young age.  Thus,

1960, Warhol finally began to paint in earnest and to view art seriously as a

an early manifestation was his Dick Tracy, an enlarged version of the comic
strip that was placed in the window of Lord & Taylor's department store.  He
followed in his own footsteps to keep going in the ever-so-famous "pop art"
track.  Warhol's use of images are so close to the images themselves, thanks to
the photographic silkscreen technique, which is a process of applying the same
image over and over again without changing the original.  In 1963, he began
turning film into his next aesthetic.  He was the recorder of the world around
him.  Warhol saw this world as populated by hustlers of various sorts, motivated
largely by money and the goods it would buy.  Later that next year, he started
to experiment in underground film.  In the late 70's he began to use sex and
nudity to gain attention in his films.  Whether this was ...
