Summary: After developing his name in the art business through more commercial work Andy Warhol felt comfortable enough to branch out. He began painting iconic items and comic strips. Despite initial rejection from the art world he continued to preserver in his new painting career. Following his acceptance into the art world, he developed his studio known as the Factory. The inspiration behind his paintings came from popular culture. However, the art was made his own through color use, placement, size, and shape. With all these elements added, it made the picture almost unreal. After a close call with death, a new artistic focus came out. Warhol began to focus on celebrities and iconic people marking a new era in Warhol art. In the 80’s his focus changed again, but this time towards more mythical characters.
Response: In this website I found, the writer tells the reader many different sides of Andy Warhol. They show what I would call a time line of his work and artistic career through a large span of time. I believe that when the writer said, “However he continued and, in 1962, he held his second show in New York which was met with critical acclaim” you get a small taste of the perseverance it took for Warhol to even begin his career. And to see that the outcome was is amazing. A world renowned artist, who’s legend and art will remain here forever.
