鷹揚空

A week ago, my friends and I went to see Warhol's exhibition in Taipei. Since we didn't know about getting ear sets for explaining the works in advance, we had to follow the narrator closely from one work to another.

Andy Warhol is Godfather of Pop Art. I have seen some of his works, such as Marilyn Monroe, Mou, the banana, Campell's chicken soup. As far as I'm concerned, getting to know about the artist intrigues my enthusiasm about his works more. To my surprise, Andy had plastics surgery on his eyes and nose. I thought artists wouldn't care much about their appearance. Besides, westerners had bigger eyes and taller noses than those we had.

Andy Warhol was probably one of the richest artists on earth. He was born in a poor Polish family, so he clung to his wealth. He liked to use celebrities as his themes in his work. And all of his works could be massively made through the technique called "Silk Screen".

Through the windows of his works, I could have a glimpse of his thought and personality. "His life was a novel." Every piece of his work represented a certain time in American history.
