Andy Warhol (August 6, 1928 — February 22, 1987) was an American artist who became a central figure in the movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter; an avant-garde filmmaker, a record producer, an author and a public figure known for his presence in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Andy+Warhol">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes

• “Andy Warhol: I think everybody should like everybody.Gene Swenson: Is that what Pop Art is all about?Andy Warhol: Yes, it's liking things.”
• “The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do.”
• “I think of myself as an American artist: I like it here.. .I feel I represent the U.S. in my art but I'm not a social critic. I just paint those things in my paintings because those things are the things I know best. I'm not trying to criticize the U.S. in any way, not trying to show up any ugliness at all. I'm just a pure artist, I guess. But I can't say if I take myself seriously as an artist. I just hadn't thought about it. I don't know how they consider me in print, though.”
• “If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface; of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.”
• “In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.”
• “Pelé is one of the few who contradicted my theory [...] Instead of 15 minutes of fame, he will have 15 centuries.”
