Andy Warhol truly defined the movement of Pop Art. He managed to turn the superficial world of pop culture into slight abstractions, playing up this colorful culture in his works. I like his almost comic depictions of celebrities and his use of vibrant, solid colors. This vivacity epitomizes the 50s and 60s for which most of Warhol's work represents. I personally love the 50s and 60s eras and anything retro. Warhol's works all have the same "throwback" feel of what is old is new again. He manages to take old, seemingly unimportant icons and celebrities and revitalize them by mixing mediums and playing up certain colors. His personality clearly shines through his works. He was a very dynamic, open person who loved to just enjoy life. His art clearly reflects this vibrant attitude, which is exactly the kind of style I like.
