Andy Warhol's Style

From the above images, we could see that Andy Warhol’s work contains mainly of Pop Art. His signature style is to use silk screening for his work, as he could easily mass produce them. Consequently, he also uses slide projection to trace his drawing. In the process of his work, he often would prefer using brighter colors no matter what subject he is working on. Although he is the central figure in the movement known as Pop Art, he started off with small subject and was not egoistic at all. From these beginnings, he developed his later style and subjects and began to work more and more on his signature style. Till now, he was really prominent.

Quote for the day: An artist is somebody who produces things that people don’t need to have. – Andy Warhol
