Masters of World Painting: Andy Warhol

An art-history lecture by Martin Pavlíček about Andy Warhol.

The Slovak-born Pittsburgh native became an American painter, graphic artist, filmmaker and leading figure of American pop art. He began as an illustrator of advertising items and later made silkscreen portrait series of people and objects. Warhol directed avant-garde films, sometimes pornographic in character, and managed the art-rock group The Velvet Underground. All of this was created at The Factory studio in Manhattan.
