Andy Warhol was an American artist born in the United States to Slovakian immigrants. He moved to New York to work as a commercial artist and developed his signature blotted line drawing technique using ink, paintbrushes and tracing paper. Warhol founded his studio, known as "The Factory", and helped pioneer Pop Art through his paintings of everyday objects and famous people. Some of his most famous works included paintings of Campbell's Soup cans, cows in different colors, and portraits of celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor.
