His legacy continues to live on today for his ability to de-symbolize well known objects and strip them of their meaning or purpose. “He exposed and exploited a new way of being in a world of commodity-images where frame is often subsumed by celebrity, newsworthiness by notoriety, aura by glamor, and charisma by hype: a…

A frontier can force the mind to expand its manner of thinking and venture into areas unknown. Andy Warhol crossed his own frontier when he explored the concept of Pop Art. Pop Art was a far cry from the traditional art of the past—it pushed the boundaries of modern art. Warhol’s use of bold colors, repetitive imagery, easily identifiable…
