Andy Warhol
Andrew Warhol (*August 6, 1928 - †February 22, 1987), commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American artist, photographer, and filmmaker. Warhol was one of the founding fathers of the 1950s pop art in the United States. His art of pop was an avant-garde form of arts, which was more or less stinging, and against the established values of the artistic academicism that took place in the mid-twentieth century. Regardless of Warhol’s numerous critics and opponents, his works gained popularity and made him one of the most controversial artistic characters. Currently, the world's largest museum dedicated to an artist is the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Warhol, in the 1960s, rented a hatchet factory in New York and turned it into a studio. This studio, which had long been no longer known, was renowned for the name of the factory. By doing so, he eliminated the unique and pure character of the work of art, and began to produce large-scale artwork. In the same period, Warhol began to paint famous American productions such as Soup Campbell and Coca-Cola. One of his most well-known works is the Campbell's Soup Canist, which was designed in 1962.
