second half of the twenties century. His art works including drawing, painting,
prints and videography.
When he
was in college, he discovered the blotted-line technique. It was to tape two
pieces of blank paper together and then draw in ink on one page. Before the ink
dried, press the two pieces of paper together. Finally a picture with irregular
lines comes out, and color in with watercolor. Andy Warhol didn’t like to
study, he always missed classed. He only interested in art. He took arts at
school and Carnegie Museum.
Before he
became an artist, he was a commercial illustrator. He worked to explore the
relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement.
After that, he acted as a leader of the visual art movement. He also discovered
the process of silk screening. This technique uses a specially prepared section
of silk as a stencil, allowing one silk-screen to create similar patterns
multiple times.
Moreover,
Andy was a gay man and he lived openly even before the gay liberation.
