Andy Warhol was an American artist, filmmaker, and leading figure in the pop art movement. Known for his bold and vibrant screenprints of celebrities and everyday objects, Warhol challenged traditional notions of art and popular culture. His iconic works, such as the Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Monroe series, explored themes of consumerism, fame, and mass production. Warhol's innovative approach to art and his ability to blur the lines between high and low culture have had a lasting impact on contemporary art.
