Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol pioneered some of the modern art ideas of today. He would take a common day object and imagine it as a work of art, such as a cola can or a condensed can of soup. He would use commercialized colors like the bright Red of a coke and such, and put it on a flat image of a woman face, leaving out details making the image simple. Some times he would do this and use the concept of multiples to push the colors and image to be burned in out minds. He was one of the first to use pop culture icons as art.
I admit his work for how inventive and edgy it was at the time is good. I find the commercialized colors to be dazzling and draw attention the way they were designed to in product. Warhol using that to attract audiences to is art and ideas was genius I personally prefer soft glowing edges and more detail then he provides but on a whole he is an artist to respect.
