Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol is I think unarguably the most recognizable pop artists to date. ... What Warhol helped to do with contemporary art is to strip away this definition. ... Warhol’s style of work was independent. A person did not have to know very much of the art world to appreciate the beauty of Warhol’s paintings. Thanks to Warhol and many pop artists of the time, artists today have more of a sense or freedom to create whatever the mind is willing.
