 * He was one of the first pop artists ever.


 * Pop Art is a art movement from the 1900's that utilized the techniques of consumerism and //**pop**//ular culture.[[image:inturas-andy-warhol-prints-andy-warhol-obra-andy-warhol-cuadros-andy-warhol-marylin-andy-warhol-fotos-andy-warhol-imagenes-andy-warhol-images121.jpg width="323" height="323" caption="This is a perfect example of using pop culture in paintings and drawings"]]


 * The Campbell's tomato soup can painting was created in 1969.


 * Some people believe that the paintings were used to represent the changing times throughout his life.

Fun Fact: Warhol made films sometimes. One was titled sleep and it was a six hour film of a man sleeping.
