Andy Warhol (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), was the famous painter, printmaker and filmmaker who was a leading figure of art mouvement known as pop-art.
His Marylin Monroe full of colours is famous all around the world, also the tin of Cambel soup.
But only a few people know that in his life he made a lot of paintigs inspirated by his mother.
His mother was the subject of the exhibition in Vychodoslovenska Galeria in Košice in septembre 2010.The exhibition was named JULIA. The visitors could seen a short film where the pricipal actrice was the mother of Andy Warhol. His parents were born in Medzilaborce in Slovakia but before the Andy`s born, they moved to USA.
Exept of the film with Andy`s mother the galery was full of images from the begining of his career.
The best experiece is the touch with The Gold Book known all around the world.
The Slovaks are so proud on him that he has own museum in Medzilaborce.
For me it was very good experience and maybe the bigest and the most ageable contact with art.
