Andy Warhol, His actual name is Andrew Warhol. He was
born in Warhola on august 6th in 1928. He grew up in Pittsburgh and
moved to New York to be successful as a commercial artist. He got hired in New York
magazine, called ‘Bazaar’ as a graphic designer and finally got huge successful.
Everyone recall him first when people think about a pop art. No doubt that he
made the word of pop art.
The objects and subjects that he used for his works are
so ordinary and not special so that we can see in a daily such as bottle of
coca-cola, canned of soups and banana. Those are really simple and familiar for
us but it’s still famous because it showed that it also could be a part of art.
In addition, He
like using for his works well-known generally of issues, major accidents and
incidents of pop stars’ or famous works from the past.
He also used silk screen a production method
mechanically. Using a silk screen, it is hard to figure out who is maker, able
to guarantee anonymities and also possible to make limitless copies.
As he followed repeating the images and changing them
simply forms, have no meaning, no feeling that the object and subject actual
have had.
Not only he did activities for flat works by a silk
screen but also he expand to movies, magazine, even cable broadcasting so he
showed us the art doesn’t need to be limited to just part of an art.
