Andy Warhol

Published: Thursday, 24 January 2013

What makes Andy Warhol's work unique is that he was the first to bring that kind of art to the world.

You might look at his art and say that it's simplistic, that a 4-year-old could have done it, that you could have done it, or that it's not original.

But Andy Warhol was the first to do his art his way.

Even though you could have done it, you didn't.

So do your own unique kind of art and bring that to the world.
