Andy Warhol

Within what art genre did Warhol work? Commercial

Define the genre? Commercial Art is art that sells something and is able to reach all viewers.

During what years was he alive? August 6, 1928 to February 1987

Post 2 samples of his art. Answer the following questions for each piece.

Title of the piece?

Skull


Describe the color that he utilizes. Does he use any particular color scheme?
I think he used a complementary scheme to make the art catch your eye. The electric purple and the dramatic red catch your eye instantly. And the brown in the back doesn't take away from the red and purple.
What do you notice about the artwork itself?
It is a skull that looks deformed.
