Warhol
Warhol's silkscreen printing process – how did he do it? This LINK explains how photography plays a significant part, how the layers of the photo are separated into different screens.
AND this LINK shows you ANDY printing the first layer for one of his Elvis paintings.
From a discussion on THE LAST WARHOL - we briefly mentioned the fact that Warhol happily invited comparisons between his work and the commercial advertising world. Does that make his work less meaningful? Didn't he say everything was right there on the surface? This article in the Houston Press discusses these issues in relation to the Menhil Collection's purchase of one of the last paintings Warhol made before he died.
Warhol's Dollar Bill recently sold for 20m pounds?!
Here's a link with one of Warhol's first attempts to combine the dripping (a symbol of abstract expressionism) with images from popular culture (in this case advertising)
