Warhol
Soup can painter
Andy Warhol was an American artist who defined Pop Art in the 1960s, famous for silkscreen prints of Campbell's soup cans and Marilyn Monroe.
His name now evokes mass production as art, celebrity culture, and the blurring of commercial and fine art.
His quip that everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes remains a cultural touchstone.
As an adjective, Warhol-like or Warholian describes art that appropriates commercial imagery or explores fame and repetition.
