Andy Warhol

If only use one word to describe what's Pop/Pop Art, I'd say Andy. Not because he painted soup cans or Coke bottles or even dollars and able to sell them at a high price, but because of his whole attitude and philosophy, the way he embraced all the shallow yet charming little things. He saw beauty and appreciated them, along with all the problems associated. But he never tried to correct or rescue anyone, he just sit there watching them grow. He must be so fascinated by the beauty of destruction that he'd rather record than stop it.

He didn't start any of the tragedies, he only let them happen.

Many see him as a cold blooded man who makes the max use of people and abandoned them, of course apart from the great artist review. When Edie died and someone told Andy the news, he simply said, Edie who? But I don't believe he really was that senseless, he just never let his true feelings out. I mean feelings as a normal human being, not views...Andy's never afraid to express any of his bizarre point of views...in even more bizarre ways. The factory was like an ever-changing exhibition of emotion flows, everybody was pouring everything out, everybody but Andy. He was the observer.

He once explained the pronunciation of his name in an interview like this: Andy Warhol as in hole. The weird thing is, that's exactly what I feel about him. Like a giant black hole, attracts everything around, fell in, and get lost.

How Pop is that?
