Andy Warhol American, 1927-1987
Overview
Mesita, 1952
Andy Warhol was an American visual artist, film director and producer. A leading figure in the pop art movement, Warhol is considered the most important artist of the second half of the 20th-century.
Warhol’s early work, especially his drawings, played a crucial role in shaping his later Pop Art sensibility. Before becoming the icon of Pop, Andy Warhol began as a commercial illustrator in 1950s New York, gaining recognition for his delicate, line-based drawings—often created using a technique called blotted line, which combined ink drawing with basic printmaking. These early works frequently featured fashion, shoes, cats, cakes, and portraits.
