another post for my andy warhollnhd project

(10)Kathleen Krull Lives of the Artists Masterpieces, messes (and What their Neighbors Thought.) Harcourt Brace and Company San diego1995.
This book had many artists. I like when books have multiple artists in one book. The book had a funny caricature of Andy Warhol. Around him are cats, a soup can, paint, a clock, and a cake. These objects that symbolize him. The book talked about these objects. This book had some funny facts that were added bonuses. For example, he had 175 cookie jars and 400 wigs. I liked that this book talked about his food habits. For example, sometime he ate junk food; such as candy, pastries and a whole cake. Other times he ate bean sandwiches or vegetable puree. It talked about his looks and his odd style for example wore a jeweled and feathered wig to his first art show. He wore high-heeled boots and as he got older his sunglasses got bigger. It talked about how at first his living space was terrible. Later on he had a penthouse. This was helpful because it talked about his style and look. I think that is very important to my display board.

This site give s the background information of the time period Andy Warhol was alive. Which is what it’s supposed to do. The site talked about all the different right movement going on; for example, blacks got right to be treated equally and vote. Women then protested to get their rights. Then Mexicans did the same. I like that t his has primary sources I need primary sources. They are important to the project. Gays and lesbians got their rights and that was very important to the time period.
