"Self -Portrait" (1993) by Andy Warhol, reproduction on letters

Andy Warhol was America's most famous artist. He was considered a revolutionary, eccentric and inventor of pop art and was all at the same time. Art criticism celebrates him with predicates that no artist has yet been awarded - not even Pablo Picasso or Salvador Dali. Alfred Nemeczek: "You (the predicates) ranged from the" pop star "to" pop artist ", raised the" pop-genius "from the" pop prince "to the" Prince of Pop "and further up to the" pop king "," pop-Zar "and" Großmogul ". But also" high priest "and" Pope of pop "is the" Picasso of Pop Art " ". (Artist - critical lexicon of contemporary art)
