"Andy Warhol"

1.) Within what genre did Warhol work?
Pop art
2.) Define the genre?
The genre uses components from the current "popular culture" and incorporates them into fine art. It usually focuses on one particular image in each piece of artwork.
3.) During what years was he alive?
He was born in 1928 and died in 1987. His artwork was most popular during the 1950's
4.) Two samples of his art~





a. Gold Marilyn Monroe 
Warhol uses violets, blues, purples and oranges in this painting, he is using a complimentary color scheme. The artwork itself has fine details in some places while in other places there is nothing but blank color. 





















b. Oil Painted Zebra
Warhol incorporates blue, yellows, oranges and reds in this painting, he is using a triadic color scheme. The painting still gives off the idea of the original animal while adding colors to it.
