ANDY WARHOL

Andy Warholl (1928 - 1987) was an American artist, one of the main figures of the Pop Art movement and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. From a young age he showed his artistic talent, and studied advertising art at the Carnegie Institute of Technology.

​

By imitating the familiar aesthetics of mass media, advertising, and celebrity culture, Warhol blurred the boundaries between his work and the world that inspired it, producing images that have become as pervasive as their sources. Warhol developed the idea of the ​​Hammer & Sickles while being in Italy. He remained very impressed by the many slogans of the Comunist party around the italian cities.
