ANDY WARHOL

Well, I don't like to think in a "best artist", because I believe that every artist work in different ways. I really like the Andy Warhol's work, and I think of him like a very influential artist in the XX century and one of the most important in the latest years.

Andy Warhol was born in 1928. He was an american painter, printmaker and filmmaker who was a very influental figure in the birth of the Pop Art movement in the 60's and 70's. He became very famous around the world by his work as a painter, filmmaker, producer, author and a public figure who was working with a very diverse social circles that includes bohemian street people, homosexual, drug addicts, aristocrats and celebrities of Hollywood.

It was during the 60s that Warhol began to make paintings of iconic American products as Campbell's Soup Cans from the Campbell Soup Company and Coca-Cola bottles, and paintings of celebrities as Marilyn Monroe, Troy Donahue, and Elizabeth Taylor.

He founded "The Factory," his studio during these years, and point of meet between artists, writers, musicians, and underground celebrities. He began producing prints using the silkscreen method. His work became popular and controversial.

Warhol was a very polemic personage in all his life. And after his death in 1987 was object of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, films, and documentaries. And is because of this that is considered one of the mos influential artists in the latest century.
