My 10 favorites by Pop Artist Andy Warhol
I love art of all sorts, and pop art is one of my favorites because the everyday images usually have some kind of meaning for me on a personal level.
Have you stopped to really look at some of these images? Do they bring back childhood memories? Maybe you're an artist and this form of art inspires you in some way.
Just have an open mind and browse. :)
#1 - Marilyn Monroe in Hot Pink
This one is my favorite!
Even in a traditionally decorated room, this print somehow fits in. The pop of color and gorgeous person will make any room way more interesting.

Official Andy Warhol stuff:
:For the song by David Bowie, see Andy Warhol (song).
Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 ? February 22, 1987), more commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats.
Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. He coined the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame." In his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, The Andy Warhol Museum exists in memory of his life and artwork.
The highest price ever paid for a Warhol painting is $100 million for a 1963 canvas titled Eight Elvises. The private transaction was reported in an article in The Economist, which described Warhol as the "bellwether of the art market." $100 million is a benchmark price that only Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, Gustav Klimt and Willem De Kooning have achieved.http://www.economist.com/specialreports/displaystory.cfm?story_id=14941229
#2 - Tomato Soup
My mom made Campbell's tomato soup for me when I was a kid.

Regular, everyday, mundane things interpreted as the artist sees it. (Some people just don't get it.) But if you do, its fun and colorful and very cool.
