Andy Warhol was an American artist who blurred the line between fine art and popular culture, helping define the Pop Art movement of the 1960s. Born in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Warhol drew inspiration from advertising, celebrity, and mass production, turning everyday images like soup cans, dollar bills, and movie stars into iconic works of art.

Using techniques such as silkscreen printing, he embraced repetition and mechanical processes to question originality and fame. Through his studio, the Factory, Warhol became a central figure in New York’s art and cultural scene, leaving a lasting impact on how art engages with media, consumerism, and celebrity.
