I would say what makes him a true
master is his courage to announce his homo sexuality in the 60’s. Through his
mastering of advertisement Warhol mastered a style and mastered a market. The
influence of celebrities was massive in his time with superstars like Elvis and
Marylyn Monroe, and the people loved them. He used this idea of peoples love
for culture to create art that captured people’s attention; from famous
products to people to car crashes. Warhol’s work was for the masses not just
for the upper class to hang in their dining rooms. Warhol’s art always suggests
something about life; he let the world around him influence his art. His style
received a lot of criticism but he still pushed forward and he certainly did
make a difference in today’s life.
“Sometimes the little times you don't think
are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period
of your life” – Andy Warhol
