Andy Warhol was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. He was born in 1928 in Pittsburgh to Slovak immigrant parents. In the 1960s, Warhol began creating pop art paintings of everyday consumer products and celebrities which helped establish him as a pioneer of pop art. He founded The Factory, his famous New York studio, in 1962 where he produced prints, films, and other works. Though he survived an assassination attempt in 1968, Warhol never fully recovered from his injuries and died in 1987 following routine surgery. His works and legacy continue to have a huge influence on modern art.

Essay 1
An artist, one who professes and practices an imaginative art. That is exactly what
Andy Warhol was born to do as he started experimenting with different materials and
mediums of art when he was a young boy. Everything leading up to his enormous
success as being one of the founding fathers of Pop Art and being one of the two
most famous artists in the late twentieth century. Warhol was so different it was what
made his work stand out from the rest, he was a true artist and that is what made
him who he is now known for. The art he produced was so prominent because he
based everything he did around his own identity and the culture at the time and hid
behind his work instead of shine in front of it.
Andrew Warhola was born a son of two immigrants in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with
a rare disease called Sydenham chorea. That disease forced him to have to be stuck
inside for most of his childhood alone which led him to finding his passion and drive
for art. He was a very unique artist as he was someone who focused on many
different medias of art such as film making, screen printing, painting, photography,
and much more. He couldn’t just settle for one specific type of art because while
stuck inside he had time to experiment with all types of materials which led him to
become the artist he is now known for. When his father passed away he left the
family just enough money for one of the three children to go to college. Warhol was
fourteen at the time and his other two brother were older, the family agreed that
Andrew would be the one to go for art as he loved it so much. Couple years later he
graduated from Carnegie Institute of Technology with a degree in pictorial design
being the first of his family to graduate college. He immediately moved to New York
and started his life as Andy Warhol, a famous pop-artist and silk screener with his
first success, the Campbell Soup Cans.
Andy Warhol was a family man as you see through his childhood experience of
being stuck inside all day and also his mother moving to New York to be with him
just three years after he left. He was constantly working and pushing himself to take
care of his family and one of his most famous quotes is, “I want to be a machine.” He
was always interested in the idea of mass production as you see through his famous
works, Campbell’s Soup Cans, Brillo, and Triple Elivs. While stuck inside when
younger he was known for being obsessed with celebrities and would cut them out of
magazines and newspapers and make collages of them. He had this weird love and
obsession with fame in which he showed through his work in New York as he
painted people and also included them in his films Prince, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace
Kelly, and more. He was interested in the idea of fame rather than the people and
believed everyone could and would be famous as he stated many times, “In the
future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes” (Nuwer 1). When having .
2. WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?
The goal of this presentation is
to share my interest about one
of the greatest artists of the 20th
century with you. As you
already see I’m going to tell you
the story of Andy Warhol.
3. THESE ARE SOME QUOTATIONS OF ANDY HIMSELF AND HIS FRIENDS.
LET’S SEE HIS STORY TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER IT’S TRUE OR NOT.
“I am a
deeply
superficial
person”
“I like
“a true boring
workaholic” things”
“I am from
nowhere”
4. Born Andrew Warhola in a working class
suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August
6th 1928 to Slovak immigrants (Ondrej and
Julia Warhola [Varchola in Slovakia]). Warhol
showed an early interest in photography and
drawing, attending free classes at Carnegie
Institute.
5. Warhol came down with St.
Vitus' dance in third grade,
an affliction of the nervous
system causing involuntary
movements which is
believed to be a
complication of scarlet
fever. He was frequently
bed-ridden as a child and
became an outcast
amongst other students.
When in bed he drew a lot,
listened to the radio and
collected pictures of movie
stars.
Years later Warhol
described the period of
his sickness as very
important in the
development of his
personality and in the
forming of his skill-set and
preferences.
6. Lots of his works were devoted
to Marilyn Monroe.
7. Upon graduation, Warhol moved to New York which
was the perfect place for an illustrator to make a living.
He became well-known for his whimsical ink drawings
done in a loose, blotted ink style.
He also did advertising and window displays for retail
stores such as Bonwit Teller and I. Miller. Ironically, his
first assignment was for Glamour magazine for an
article titled "Success is a Job in New York."
8. A TURNING POINT IN
WARHOL'S CAREER
In the 1960s Warhol began to make paintings of
American products such as Campbell's Soup Cans &
Coca-Cola bottles and comic strips like Superman &
Popeye. Starting in 1962 he began making silkscreens
of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Troy
Donahue, and Elizabeth Taylor by using enlarging
photographs and transferring the images onto his
canvases using a projector.
10. THE FACTORY.
Consequently he founded The Factory in 1962. It was
an art studio where he employed in a rather chaotic
way "art workers" to mass produce mainly prints and
posters but also other items like shoes designed by the
artist. The Factory included a wide range of artists,
writers, musicians and underground celebrities. The
first location of the Factory was in 231 E. 47th Street,
5th Floor (between 1st & 2nd Ave) in New York City.
12. In 1968 Valerie Solanas, a periodic factory
visitor, and the sole member of SCUM
(Society for Cutting Up Men) walked into the
Factory and shot Warhol. The attack was
near fatal and he was briefly declared dead
(doctors opened his chest and massaged his
BAD TIMES heart to help stimulate its movement again).
FOR ANDY. Warhol barely survived. He never fully
recovered and for the rest of his life had to
wear a bandage to prevent his injuries from
worsening. Years later, his wounds would still
occasionally bleed after he overexerted
himself.
13. In 1970s Warhol's activities became more and more
entrepreneurial. He started the magazine Interview and
even a night-club. In 1974 the Factory was moved to
860 Broadway. In 1975 Warhol published "The
philosophy of Andy Warhol (from A to B and Back
Again)".
He began the 1980's with the publication of POPism:
The Warhol '60s. He also began work on Andy
Warhol's TV, a series of half hour of video programs
patterned after Interview magazine.
14. "I love Los
Angeles. I love
Hollywood.
They're so
beautiful.
Everything's
plastic, but I love
plastic. I want to
be plastic."
16. SOME STATISTICS.
The Warhol market is
considered the bellwether
of post-war and
contemporary art for
many reasons.
17. SO WHAT HE WAS LIKE?
a religious man
had a bizarre personality
was extremely eccentric as he
grew older
obsessed by the ambition to
become famous
loved cats and he sometimes
made images of them in his
artworks for his personal collection
18. AFTER HIS DEATH
In May 1994 the Andy Warhol Museum opened in his
home town Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
Warhol had so many possessions that it took nine days
to auction his estate after his death; the auction
grossed more than US$20 million.
In 1987 in accordance with his will the foundation was
established. It’s mission is the advancement of the
visual arts.
19. "People need to be made
more aware of the need to
work at learning how to live
because life is so quick and
sometimes it goes away too
quickly." - Andy Warhol
