Andy Warhol
is known as a pop artist of the 1960s. His work is of many different mediums, but his most famous style is done by screen printing; this is how his famous portraits of Marilyn Monroe, and Jackie Kennedy are done; he used a picture to make the prints. He would also film people, like Niko (the model) using regular film for recording movement, but then he would use that film like photo film so he would get a bunch of pictures that showed slight amounts of movement as a person looked from one to the next [eerie]. He also used to take models into photo booths and just keep doing picture after picture to the point where it was hard for the model to keep thinking up different facial expressions. Anyway, he changed art permanently and he has sold paintings for as much as 100 million dollars, that’s up there with Van Gogh and Picasso.
This is what I was talking about with the photobooth stuff:
