b'As well as being one of the leading figures in the American Pop Art movement, Andy Warhol\nwas a painter, printmaker, occasional sculptor and filmmaker whose work carried on the tradition\nof Dadaism which questioned the very validity of art itself. In the main he used his images and\nobjects, and the way they are formed, to draw parallels with cultural processes. Thus, by means\nof a variety of techniques, but principally the choice of images, their visual repetition and pictorial\nisolation, and the use of colour, Warhol made us doubly aware of contemporary materialism,\npolitical manipulation, economic exploitation, conspicuous consumption, media hero-worship,\nand the creation of artificially-induced needs and aspirations. And through manipulating images\nand the public persona of the artist, Warhol also threw back in our faces the contradictions and\nsuperficialities of contemporary culture and the art it has engendered, whilst incorporating in his\npaintings and sculptures the very techniques of mass production that are central to the modern\nworld, emphasizing to the point of absurdity the complete detachment from social and artistic\ncommitment that he saw in the world around him. Despite the uneveness and shallowness of\nmuch of his later work, Andy Warhol was one of the most brilliant, challenging and intentionally\ninfuriating artists of the latter half of the twentieth century.'
