Andy Warhol compared Polaroid photographs with a visual diary, and therefore took photographs of celebrities with pleasure. And then - he created portraits, replicating them at the "Factory". Your attention - 10 star shots and a few selfies of the king of pop art.
Star photos were taken in the 70s and 80s of the last century. In his workshop, Warhol took a series of photographs, chose the most successful one, retouched, removing wrinkles and bringing up the eyes and lips to make the face more expressive, and then, using the silk-screening method, transferred the image to the canvas. The printing of portraits was put on stream, which in itself contradicted the principles of classical art, but at the same time corresponded to the ideology of "business art".
Warhol himself happily posed for the camera, his selfies are not devoid of kitsch and shocking, but this is how he thinks to look like an artist whose vision of art was radically different from generally accepted dogmas.
Many people remember Andy Warhol for his original advertising prints, although you shouldn't forget that he became famous not only as a designer, but also as an artist, magazine publisher, producer … little-known drawings from notebooks.
