Late 20th-century culture influenced Andy Warhol's personal narrative through its preoccupation with consumerism, celebrity, and media saturation. Growing up in a post-war
America, Warhol became fascinated by the consumer culture permeating society, which he critiqued through his art. The rise of mass media and the burgeoning concept of fame led him to explore the interplay between art and commerce. His own experiences as a self-promotion pioneer mirrored the cultural zeitgeist of the time, further solidifying his identity as a leading figure in the Pop Art movement.
