A review on Andy Warhol's documentary....




Today we are asked to view a video clip on a documentary of Andy Warhol. The documentary lasted about an hour. Basically, the video is about Andrew Warhola, or most commonly known as Andy Warhol, an American artist and 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, 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. After watching the documentary, i found that his paintings are " eccentrically inspirational ". There were many colorful paintings of various objects. For example, there were pictures of skulls, Campbell Soup label, and Marilyn Monroe to name a few.



In my opinion, the video was quite interesting to watch. The class was dismissed soon after and we were told that we will be discussing Andy Warhol's Diaries with Dr. Edwin during our next class.
