As well as being one of the leading figures in the American Pop Art movement, Andy Warholwas a painter, printmaker, occasional sculptor and filmmaker whose work carried on the traditionof Dadaism which questioned the very validity of art itself. In the main he used his images andobjects, and the way they are formed, to draw parallels with cultural processes. Thus, by meansof a variety of techniques, but principally the choice of images, their visual repetition and pictorialisolation, and the use of colour, Warhol made us doubly aware of contemporary materialism,political manipulation, economic exploitation, conspicuous consumption, media hero-worship,and the creation of artificially-induced needs and aspirations. And through manipulating imagesand the public persona of the artist, Warhol also threw back in our faces the contradictions andsuperficialities of contemporary culture and the art it has engendered, whilst incorporating in hispaintings and sculptures the very techniques of mass production that are central to the modernworld, emphasizing to the point of absurdity the complete detachment from social and artisticcommitment that he saw in the world around him. Despite the uneveness and shallowness ofmuch of his later work, Andy Warhol was one of the most brilliant, challenging and intentionallyinfuriating artists of the latter half of the twentieth century.
