“Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.”

American artist and filmmaker

Andy Warhol was an American artist and filmmaker. He became a leading figure in pop art in the second half of the 20th century, known for work that moved across painting, film, photography, publishing, and performance art. His art examined advertising, consumerism, mass media, and celebrity culture, and his use of mechanical reproduction pushed against older ideas about the divide between high and low culture. He is also credited with popularizing the phrase “15 minutes of fame.”
