love the life you live*

Learning about Pop art in class truly amazed me. I always loved the self-portraits of Andy Warhol and the paintings he did of Marilyn Monroe. I never thought that I would be able to see the creation of these paintings. It was a very long process that goes into one painting.

I also never knew the the word "pop" came from a lollipop over a man's private parts in one of the first pop art paintings. I just always thought that was the name they gave to that culture.

Andy Warhol's quotes and paintings have always intrigued me but I never knew the extent of his life. Andy Warhol Superstar was a very interesting movie and actually showed his crazy personality. He is actually quite a funny guy and he just loved messing around with people and you could tell he just loved to have fun!

It is sad that one of his actors shot him, which eventually led to his death years after. His work will continue to be world famous and one of a kind. Nobody will forget Andy Warhol.
