Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol is famous for his movement in pop-art. Pop art is an art form that shows everyday objects or scenes and employs techniques of commercial art and popular illustration. He was alive during 1928-1987




"Zebra", The image is a picture of a regular zebra, but Warhol added his own color scheme to make it interesting.  The zebra has an analogous color scheme with a complementary background.



"Marilyn Monroe" The image is a picture of Marilyn Monroe looking like a regular person, but he added colors to give her an urban look.  He uses complementary colors (the red violet and yellow green) to make each other stand out, and the white face gives the eye a break and lets it focus on the colors.
