ARTISTS LOOK AHEAD
Andy Warhol started to become successful in the late 40’s creating illustrations for Glamour magazines. By the early 60’s Warhol began to be known for his comic like painting of subjects derived from advertisements. Subjects like the Campbell soup can or Coca-Cola. Warhol was rather shy and always observed, he would carry a camera to capture objects or famous people. Later he would turn those photographs into silk screen prints and reproduce them as his iconic pop art canvases (Marilyn Diptych). Furthermore, it should also be noted that Warhol used digital editing and flood fills for his later pieces as the advent of computers/ computer drawing software developed in the 80’s. Nevertheless, Warhol’s influence is seen widely
