WARHOL

As well as being one of the leading figures in the Pop Art movement, Andy Warhol was a painter, printmaker, occasional sculptor and filmmaker whose work carried on the tradition of Dadaism which questioned the very validity of art itself...Warhol used his images, and the way they are formed, to draw parallels with cultural processes. By means of a variety of techniques, but principally choice of images, their visual repetition or pictorial isolation, and use of colour, he made us doubly aware of contemporary materialism, political manipulation, conspicuous consumption, media hero-worship, and much more. This volume is a tribute to a unique artist, Andy Warhol was one of the most brilliant, challenging and Intentionally infuriating artists of the latter half of the twentieth century.
