Provocative, frivolous, sharp, brilliant, sometimes irritating and always inteligent and bold, Warhol was the very guru of Pop, the Pope - as he liked to say in a sarcastic way -
of a movement that was taken to its logical conclusion being the figurehead and symbol, comprising until the last expresive posibilities and techniques able.
From his factories, as he liked to name his printing shop, pointing the industrial genesis and the comercial way of his works, were born for more than 30 years the most knewn images and objets of por art: Campbell soup cans, Marilyn icons, Cocacola´s, shoot guns, Mao, etc. He also developed his own image as any other of his portraits.
Andy Warhol´s works is the fair image of the man of the 50´s ad 60´s and his thinkings. On every paint or object he created he used the most artificial and innovating techniques: the way he repeated one after one the same design was something completely opposing to common art based on feelings and original ideas. He didn´t show, even let, the most pure feelings like love, hope or freedom. He had only desire and its own satisfactions, that´s why he worked with such flate colours, clean and simple, not concernig the nature of the design.
