Andy Warhol’s Pop Art is exactly that and is an important offshoot of popular culture ,in his own way, Warhol is a cult legend for his work and his zany character. His screen prints use color to create high contrast. Using high contrast Warhol created images that literally pop and his artwork was and is ‘hot’ in more ways than one. Warhol was an icon of the 20th century whether he was designing a soup can label or depicting of Mao Tse Tung. Warhol’s work is iconographic. Today, in the 21st century, his art is still a ‘hot’ item and a focal point of pop culture. (Chap.31-Art)
