Andy Warhol

     Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania in 1928. he is the artist responsible for starting pop-art. The expression of modern day things conducted into an art piece. Popular things; popular art. Capturing photo's and forming sculptures of modern day things like hamburgers, Campbell Soup Cans and Super Hero Cartoon strips. Andy Warhol had suffered a strange illness starting that a very young age. The illness made him feel shaky a lot, then he started to loose his skin color. As a boy, Andy Warhol enjoyed taking time out to read comic books, color and listen to the radio. he also liked reading magazines. He would imagine the glamorous lives of each movie star (9).Andy's interest in art encouraged his teacher's to suggest he take a weekend class at the nearby Carnegie Museum of Art. He met other child artists their who also liked to draw.
     After Andy graduated form high school, he studied design and illustration at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (11). After graduating college Andy went to New Yrok to look for a job, he showed his artwork to many advertising agencies and many magazine publishers. He landed a job at Glamour magazine, they asked him to do drawings of shoes to illustrate a story (13). Andy soon became the most successful young artist creating drawings for many magazines in New York City.
    
 The painting that i admired to most of Andy Warhol's was his 1962 'Do It Yourself' (Flowers). Basically, what I see in this painting are a bunch of flowers, and then some blank traces of flowers, waiting to be colored in, each with a specific number in the center. The reason why I admired this painting so much is because it can be interpreted in many different ways. Depending on what you're thinking about at moment, how you feel, or maybe just life in general. It's really significant. To me, when I look at this, I see life, and how some parts of it are already there for you, and other parts are waiting for you to come and do yourself. There will be things there to help you figure out just what should go where, but eventually, you do have to do it yourself.
