'''Andy Warhol''' (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist, father of pop art mouvement. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. Warhol's art encompassed many forms of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music. He founded ''Interview Magazine'' in 1969. The magazine features intimate conversations between some of the world's biggest celebrities, artists, musicians, and creative thinkers. Warhol also made computer-generated art using Amiga computers, in 1985.
