Art and craft | Coffee Table Books
The perfect introduction to the life and work of this pioneering artist
The work of Andy Warhol (1928-1987) reflected and commented on contemporary themes in American society: consumerism, celebrity, mass production, disaster, and death. To capture these ideas he used a wide range of iconic images: Coca-Cola, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, the electric chair, the crashed car, the race riot, and the atomic bomb. His openness to subject matter was matched by a willingness to explore all media, resulting in his innovative approach to painting, photography, drawing, and printmaking, and his influential activity as an experimental filmmaker. Andy Warholoffers a concise introduction to and pictorial overview of one of the greatest modern artists, one who redefined 20th-century art.
