Andy Warhol’s Biography

Andy Warhol’s careers as a printmaker and as a painter are inextricably intertwined in that he employed the same silkscreen technique in both media. Warhol’s technical contribution to the fine arts lies in his legitimization of the commercial silkscreen, a process which contributed an authentic “newness” to the history of picture making. More than any other artist in the in the Pop Art movement, Andy set and then stretched the parameters of Pop within which all his subsequent images and ideas were generated. Andy Warhol’s importance lies in his ability to recognize the qualities of ordinariness and to focus attention on them until they are no longer ordinary and filtered back to us, through his eyes, becoming extraordinary.
