Andy Warhol's artistic career was profoundly shaped by early influences, including the Pop Art movement and his fascination with commercialism. He was particularly inspired by advertising, celebrity culture, and the use of repetition in art. Warhol's early experiences as a graphic designer honed his skills in visual communication, allowing him to experiment with graphic techniques that became hallmarks of his work. His love for film and media also guided his exploration of the intersection between art and popular culture, ultimately redefining contemporary art.
