Andy Warhol - Marilyn Monroe

Andy Warhol was made famous for work as a painter, filmmaker, record producer and author. Art like this was known as pop art. His art was mass produced using a procedure called silk screening, silk screening is enlarging and transfering a photo on to silk, then a variety of colours are printed on to the screen with a rubber squeegee to create the block colours.
He used a lot of everyday objects for his art and a famous painting he did was of campbels tomato soup. He was known as "the pope of pop"
There is an Andy Worhol Museum in Pittsburgh, the Andy Warhol Museum is one of the biggest museums featuring only one artist in the world. The museum features more than four thousand works of art by Warhol. His works of art include paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, films and videos.
