<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From the 32 canvas Campbell's <i>Soup Cans</i> to the <i>Marilyn</i><i> Diptych</i>, Andy Warhol's silk-screen prints are the epitome of Pop Art: witty, gimmicky and unafraid of repetition. Obsessed with consumerism and the cult of celebrity, Warhol (1928-1987) exalted the "surface of things"--and yet he was a man of deep complexity. In <i>Andy</i>, Typex captures the remarkable life of the king of Pop Art, from his working-class upbringing in Pittsburgh to the dizzying heights of his celebrity. Spanning a period that began with the "talkies" and ended with the advent of house music, it is also a memorable portrait of 20th-century pop culture and the stars who defined it. Spanning Warhol's early career as a commercial illustrator, his relationship with the Velvet Underground, and the development of his own instantly recognizable style, <i>Andy</i> is an exhilarating portrait of a transcendent artist and a master self-promoter. Intensively researched, this 568-page graphic biography--with silver edgestain on the pages--is the first to tell the complete life story of the iconic pop artist.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Typex</b> is a comics artist and illustrator. His graphic biography <i>Rembrandt</i> was commissioned by Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum and published in English by SelfMadeHero. He lives in Amsterdam. <br>
