Andy Warhol

American artist Andy Warhol, a leader of the pop movement, produced paintings and silk-screen prints of commonplace images, such as soup cans and photographs of celebrities.

After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Andrew Warhola, a better known famous central figure worldwide, worked as an avant-garde filmmaker, in records, as an author, and in public for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood, and wealthy aristocrats. Critics often derided his work as a hoax during his lifetime, but since his death, numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, feature and documentary films subjected this controversial figure.
