Andy Warhol is an artist who emerged during the Pop Art movement. He cleared the way for other pop artists to follow as well as re-invented how we see popular culture through art. In the Chicago Tribune, aspects of Warhol's life are highlighted to convey a feeling of rebellion which possibly fueled his need to create revolutionary works such as the Marilyn Diptych seen above. This utilizes celebrity yet sends several messages about popular culture and the clarity of what it is exactly. Warhol will always be one of the greatest artists of all time and will inspire more greats to come.
