HE INSPIRED HIMSELF! Born Andrew Warhola, August 6, 1928, in the industrial city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Andy Warhol is best known for his exploration of Pop Art, mass producing images of mass produced objects. His most famous works depicted Campbell's soup cans. Enlarged, hand-painted or silkscreened, framed, and hung in an art gallery, Warhol succeeded in turning these mundane images into ironic "art". Warhol experimented in media such as film, sculpture, paint, and silkscreen, but perhaps his greatest work was his invention of himself as an international celebrity and pop culture icon. Everything around Andy Warhol was an influence! But he was an original! It's very hard to say who influenced him!

Warhol used popular culture as inspiration. However, this realist inspiration was added to, in his work with stronger colours, shapes and scale, to make the images almost unreal.
