I have created a flyer to help illustrate my thesis for my Graphic Design History paper on the Pop Art era. My Thesis being: Andy Warhol's impact on the contemporary world of art, highly influenced what we define as "art" today. In my paper i analyze his use of iconography in popular culture, to support my thesis. Therefore I have created my own Andy Warhol Merlin Monroes to show his use of celebrity icons. In 1963, his piece was made after the star had died and her tragic life story was exposed, many thought Warhol was putting the star on pedestal but in fact he was doing the exact opposite. Instead his piece was reveled to ironically criticize consumerism.
