Andy Warhol
American art in the late twentieth century expanded the realm art in addition to bringing the idea of art to where it is today. Andy Warhol was the most notable artist from this time period. Whether it was a painting, a sculpture, or even a film, he created it in a style not yet done before. His addition of popular culture into art really pushed where art was at the time as well as brought art to where it stands today. Furthermore, he created in a way that gave us pieces of art that we bow down before because of the elegance and craftsmanship he used in the creation of them. Andy Warhol began creating as a young boy and because of this his artistic ability was extremely advanced. He was able to create near exact replications of something, but put a twist on it that would become to be known as Pop Art. These twists include changing up colors so people take more notice to how simple everyday things really are, finding the true beauty of everyday American life. In addition to painting he also represented America and its popular culture using all forms of art, sending his virtuosity into an entirely new level and making him an art legend. Some say because Warhol recreated items that already existed and only changed the color, Warhol was a con man. This was perceived because of his use of appropriation and his ability to capitalize on images that already were famous and create himself a name while doing it. This is in fact false; he sometimes did create in a way that already used others designs that used simple things. For example, a Campbell’s soup can that the average person sees everyday and thinks nothing of it and make it into a beautiful piece of art that makes you appreciate the true beauty of the can.
He also made himself into a court painter with America’s favorite celebrities being the royalty that he portrayed. By doing this he created a sense of popularity of his paintings. People that want memorabilia from their icon and Warhol knew
