ANDY WARHOL Marilyn Orange Black (Mini), 1995

Andy Warhol made art out of things people usually ignore. Cans of soup, famous faces, dollar signs, newspaper photos. He chose these images because they were already everywhere. By repeating them, he forced people to actually look at how much power everyday images have. What Warhol changed was the idea of what art could be about. He showed that fame, money, and attention all work in similar ways. If you see something enough times, it starts to feel important. His work helped people understand how modern culture creates value, not through meaning, but through visibility.
