Andy Warhol Pop Art and why he made it

Andy Warhol's portrait of Michael Jackson represents an
intersection of the King of Pop and the King of Pop Art, Lehr said. After a larger-than-expected
response, the painting was pulled. ... The gallery acquired the painting in 1984 through an
agreement with TIME magazine. 


Warhol painted his Marilyn Diptych in 1962. Marilyn was a fitting
subject for his works, for she was a fusion of his themes of death and cult of celebrity. ...

Andy's series on Chinese dictator Mao was created as a
response to the Communist Party propaganda tool that represented China with a
half smiling image of their leader.

Andy Warhol is an inspiration in the way
he turned ordinary and obvious objects into reprinting imagery onto canvasses and paper!
Then it became Pop Art! President Barack Obama in my perspective came out of somewhere
