Andy Warhol Biography

Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania in 1928. He attended Carnegie Institute of Technology, with a major of pictural design. After graduation he moved to New York where he worked as and illustrator for magazines such as Vogue and The New Yorker. His first piece in an art gallery was in 1962, showing his "32 Campbell's Soup Cans." Most of Warhols best work followed in the next six years. One of the famous people he photographed was Marilyn Manroe. By 1970 he decided to renew his focus on painting. He also published a book called "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol." Later he created two cable TV Shows in the 1990s. Warhol died on Feb. 22,1987 after a surgery. The andy Warhol Museum opened in Pittsburh, Pennsylvania in May 1994.


I like theis picture by Andy Warhol because I think he was really creative with his choice of color. He brought a whole new style to photography.
