My thoughts on Andy Warhol

Today in our Art and Creativity class we watched a documentary about Andy Warhol's life and art and I wasn't sure what to think of him. Obviously he was a good at something but I am not entirely sure what that something is. Part of me wants to say he was just at the right place at the right time and another part of me wants to say he just knew what "looked cool", regardless he was and still is one of the most well known artists in the world. His shit sold..yes shit, whether it was his films that made next to no sense or his silk screen paintings that he got other people to do for him. It was his whole persona that made him successful. Andy gave great material for the media because he was so outlandish and weird, which in turn boosted his popularity. Andy needed the media and the media needed him. I'd hang one of his painting on my wall..Thatta him.
