Andy Warhol(1928-1987)was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement. Like his contemporaries Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg, Warhol reacted to mass-media society of the 1960s. His silkscreens of social and consumer symbols– consisting of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Campbell’s Soup Cans, and Brillo Boxes– would make him one of the most renowned musicians of his generation. “The best feature of a photo is that it never ever alters, also when the individuals in it do,” he when explained.
