Andy Warhol's art work

Art Work:

1.      Marilyn Monroe – 1964

Material: Silkscreen and oil on canvas

The art work is to pay tribute to Marilyn Monroe. It created a “collage” style to present the portrait of Marilyn Monroe. It uses a many wild and bright colours to illustrate the work.

 

2.        Campbell's Soup Can – 1962

Material: Silkscreen on canvas

Size: 35 3/4 x 24

  The art work was created during the early Pop art movement. The whole picture is all Campbell’s Soup Cans. Campbell’s soup can was popular during the 80s and 90s. Andy Warhol decided the paint it because the soup can is significant for him. He drank it every day in the morning and it became part of his daily life.  

3.      The sixteen Jackies – 1964

Material: Acrylic and silkscreen on canvas

Size: 80 x 64 in

There’re faces of four kids in the pictures. Their faces keep repeating on rows Andy Warhol chose their faces because they appeared ubiquitously in the media after the assassination.

I choose Andy Warhol because I like his art works and ideas. He likes to create works that near to his life. That remind me that art can be everywhere in our life. For example: your teacher’s faces, the tree behind your house or even a poster that you see every day. If you pay a little bit attention, life can be funny and more interesting. Moreover, he is talented at using colours. For exmaple: the Marilyn Monroe is merged of successive intense colours. However, it is successful and looks suitable.
