The life of Andy Warhol, the genius of pop art, comes alive in this stunning graphic novel. From his childhood in Pittsburgh to his rise to fame in New York, this book offers a unique visual and narrative journey through the career of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Who was Andy Warhol?

Born in 1928 into a family of Slovak immigrants, Warhol grew up in a humble environment where his fascination with art and popular culture began to take shape as a child. His health problems during childhood kept him at home for long periods, which strengthened his passion for comics, cinema, and fashion magazines. His artistic sensitivity and innovative outlook led him to challenge conventions and transform the way the world perceives art.

How did his artistic career begin?

After studying commercial art at the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University), Warhol moved to New York, where he quickly became a sought-after advertising illustrator. However, his ambition went beyond commercial design: he explored innovative techniques, experimented with screen printing, and drew inspiration from mass culture to create a new visual language. In the 1960s, with iconic works such as Marilyn Diptych, Campbell’s Soup Cans, and Brillo Boxes, he redefined the concept of art and turned everyday life into a museum-worthy piece.
