Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist known for his pop art works that used bright colors and repeated images of popular icons and figures from mass media. Some of his most famous works include Eight Elvises, which depicted Elvis Presley in different poses, and his silkscreen paintings of Marilyn Monroe. Warhol used techniques like silkscreening to create his art, which often featured primary colors and reproduced images from popular culture to comment on consumerism and celebrity.
