"Steppin Out with Warhol"
I love Warhol!
This is another concept of Warhol from
thoughts of my Art Museum Collection painting
"Walking in Warhol's Shoes" It was such a popular
painting and so many love Warhol's shoes that I
thought it would be fun to do another.
Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), more commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avante-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats.
