Andy Warhol, an American,started in the 1950's, As a pop artist Andy focused mainly on the consumer products in everyday life such as soup cans and coca cola.
Andy also liked to paint celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon and Michael Jackson, he repeated their faces in his art to show how celebrities are thrown at us through the media.
Aswell as Roy Lichtenstein Andy also had a factory in which he produced his work with help from other people, to mirror mass production going around .
Andy stated he didn't want people to closely examine his art but merely just give it a quick glance like you would at a tv.
Andys work was also used for advertisement, such as his coca cola cans this was probably because in his earlier days Andy was a commercial advertiser.
