Warhol, Andy, real name Andrew Warhola (1928-1987), American painter and filmmaker, who was a leader of the pop art movement. Andy Warhol (Andrew Warhola) was born on August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. He is considered by many as the most influential American artist of the second half of the 20th century. Warhol's signature style used commercial silkscreening techniques to create identical, mass produced images on canvas, then variations in color to give each print of an edition a different look. Warhol died in New York on February 27, 1987 after a gallbladder operation. He had set, and then stretched the boundaries of Pop Art. Warhol's depictions of everything from Campbell Soup Cans to the faces of celebrities provide an often revealing commentary on contemporary American society. |
