Art takes on many forms and can express an individual or group of people. There are many artists who are well known around the world but the name Andy Warhol can never be forgotten. Andy Warhol believed that he could turn anything into art and proved this to be true by taking random items and making them astounding. He is most famous for his unique art styles such as silkscreen art and Pop art. Warhol made a huge impact on the art community and the world. His jaw dropping creations always caught the public and media’s attention; from his Campbell’s Soup masterpiece to his Marilyn Monroe creations. He was able to capture beauty but in the strangest ways possible making him one of mine and many others favorite artists of all time.
Andy Warhol‘s works of art can teach one the beauty that one can gain through expressing themselves as an individual. Through his art, Warhol expressed his individualism and uniqueness as an artist. He was not afraid to cross boundaries of what was considered to be well constructed art. Instead, he took the initiative to try different things thus leading him to his well known success around the world.
