After her death, Marilyn Warhol was painted during the weeks. Fifty images of the actress were organized in the Marilyn Monroe Andy Warhol, each of them is a publicity photograph from films. In 2004 The Guardian made a survey of 500 artists and critics, the painting Andy Warhol Monroe was voted as the third most influential artwork of modern art.

Photorealistic style was applied to Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol, while the background is perfect and faint colors behind this portrait. The artist used the purest singularity of color on Monroe Andy Warhol in order to achieve emphasis on the images. Crimson lips and faint blue eye shadow were painted, this is the feature of glamorous transvestite showgirl during 1970s.
In another piece it looks that the wonderful and brilliant hair is cut and then pasted onto Warhol Marilyn Monroe by using much photorealistic shading, and it appears more false against the rest of the painting. Underneath her hair is earrings shown as silhouettes of pretty pink bows.
Her nose, eyes, and lips are shown in Marilyn Monroe Warhol as if they were given equal attention, this make whole painting furiously postmodern.
Her teeth are showing a middle-class type of a false smile by gleaming white behind thick lips, as if Warhol Marilyn was painted for a toothpaste advertisement.

Andy Warhol POP Art

The origin of Pop Art can be traced back to 1917, Marcel Duchamp asserted that any object could be art if only he intended it as such. But till 1940s after the war II, the term “Pop Art” emerged in UK that suffered great economic hardship. Only several artists independently adopted Pop art as an experimental form, others would later become synonymous with the visual art movement.

Andy Warhol become famous as the "Pope of Pop" by using the new pop art style. The popular subjects in art of Andy Warhol could be part of his palette. Cartoons and advertisements, hand-painted with paint drips are the main images in early Warhol paintings. In April 1961, New York Department's window display a backdrop, in which shows the first Andy Warhol pop art. Soon all traces of the artist's "hand" in the production of pop art Andy Warhol was removed.

The entire series of works by Andy Warhol was popular so that his reputation grew to the point, the artist was thought both the most famous pop art artist and the highest-priced living artist in USA.

Analysis of Andy Warhol Paintings
Andy Warhol was a brilliant but confusing artist to figure out. He was extremely eccentric but had a technique that came around once in a lifetime. Although he was heavily criticized through his career, his often jarring creations were the makings of legends.

For Americans that are old enough to remember, Campbell’s once had a Beef Noodle flavor that was just as popular as its now famous Chicken Noodle flavor. That is why the creation date of 1962 is fitting for ‘Big Campbell's Soup Can 19c’. The open can in the Andy Warhol painting sits on an open white background, and although there is nothing special with the technique, there is a bit of nostalgia for a specific set of people that makes this work invaluable. Reproductions are quietly high for a painting like this that only a select few around the world will be able to appreciate.

Elvis I & II captured the King successfully, putting him in the perfect artistic light. Warhol did a great job of showing what seems like a progression, or the two sides of Elvis that many used to talk about. To the right it seems like an old untouched black and white photo, but to the left is a perfectly colored, redone version. It almost looks like he brings the King to life slowly, and it has become one of the more appreciated Elvis artworks of all time. This Andy Warhol work of art was creation using various sophisticated techniques, with some being wholly untested at the time.

For collectors that are looking for something different from his catalogue, ‘Pine Barren Tree Frog II.294’ should do the trick just fine. Using the already complex colors of the frog, Warhol used many techniques now famous in 1983 and made an almost 3d version of the canvas painting that popped out. It is so alive that the branch the frog is clinging to has a life of its own. This is probably the best demonstration of Warhol blending modern technology and fusing it successfully with his art, and stands the test of time even today.
