Andy Warhol made a number of screen-printed images representative of advertising, media and film glamour from photographs of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe. Being an icon of all the symbols of glamour and fatalism, Warhol exacerbated these symbols through the expressive force of the silkscreen printing technique: the skillful play of colors used and the strength of the strokes given by silkscreen printing, achieve a timeless and inexhaustible icon. Andrew Warhol, commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American visual artist, filmmaker and music producer who played a crucial role in the birth and development of pop art. Considered in his time the guru of modernity, Warhol was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. He is currently represented in the world's most important contemporary art museums, such as MoMA, the Metropolitan and the Guggenheim in New York, the Fukoka Museum in Japan, the Kunstmuseum in Basel, the National Art Museum of the 21st century in Rome, the MUMOK in Vienna, the SMAK in Ghent and the Tate Gallery in London, as well as in the museums that bear his name in Pittsburgh and Medzilaborce (Slovakia).
