An extraordinary artist.



Today we were asked to watch a short documentary about a man named Andy Warhol. I think I did come across the name a few time but wasn’t really sure who he really are…But as we started to watched the documentary I’ve started to recognized some of his very much famous picture of Marilyn Monroe with different colors background.
I find it amusing how ever paint that he created was somehow closely connected to his faith. The element of Christianity is emerges in most of his work especially the paint of “The Last Supper”. Even though he like to used the same painting for different advertisement campaign, I find it interesting that he manage to tell a different message on every different campaign even using the same painting with slight changes.
Warhol was a true multi-talented artist he did not only paint; he was a musician, a writer, and also an interior designer. Reminds me of the great Sudirman and P.Ramlee who does not did not only excel in one field only, but in others too.
