Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement, known for his unique approach to art that blurred the lines between high culture and commercialism. He famously used techniques like silkscreen printing to create iconic works featuring celebrities and everyday objects, such as Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroe. Born in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Warhol's influence extended beyond painting to film, music, and fashion. His studio, known as the Factory, became a hub for artists, musicians, and socialites, solidifying his status as a cultural icon and innovator in the art world.
