Who is Andy Howall?

Andy Warhol (Andy Warhol, 1928.8.6-1987.2.22, translated as Andy Warhol in Hong Kong and Taiwan) is known as one of the most famous figures in the art world of the 20th century. He is the advocate and leader of Pop Art and the artist who has the greatest influence on Pop Art. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, and is a descendant of Czech immigrants. Warhol loved painting since he was a child and studied at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. In 1949 (at the age of 21), he left Pittsburgh and went to New York to look for opportunities to make a fortune. He understood that in order to achieve success in American visual arts, he must let people see him and know his existence. The mass media gave him a lot of inspiration. In 1952 (at the age of 24), he first achieved success with commercial advertising paintings in New York and gradually became a famous commercial designer. He designed greeting cards, window displays, and commercial advertising illustrations. These experiences determined that his works have a commercial style. . His works emerged in New York as early as 1952, and in 1956 he won the coveted Art Director’s Club Award for advertisers. He hired a team of workers in his famous studio "Factory", abandoned classical art, and determined to engage in conceptual creation that subverted tradition. One example of this is the "mass productions" of faces of famous contemporary figures, and the transformation of soup cans and Coke bottles into works of art is also widely known. In 1954 (at the age of 26), Warhol received the American Society of Graphic Design's Outstanding Achievement Award for the first time. In 1956 (28 years old) and 1957 (29 years old), he successively won the Art Directors Club's Unique Achievement Award and the Highest Achievement Award. In the 1960s, he began to reinterpret daily objects as themes in his works to reflect the real life in the United States. With his painting "Comba Bisque", he became a representative figure of Pop Art. He created unique paintings with repeated impressions of famous actors such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth, using the impressions of comic-like photos and silk printing techniques. He likes to completely eliminate the manual operation of artistic creation. He often directly pastes dollar bills, cans, garbage and celebrity photos on the canvas, breaking the boundaries between elegance and popularity, and is deeply loved by the world.
