... His
father died when Andy was at a very young age. Thus, it forced Andy into
a deep depression containing lack of self confidence. ... In 1960, Warhol finally began to paint in earnest and to
view art seriously as a career. ... Warhol saw this world as populated by hustlers of
various sorts, motivated largely by money and the goods it would buy. ... Sadly, Warhol died of a heart failure
on March 9, 1987, still wearing his famous blond hair wig. ... Warhol originally
intended these daily records to be documentation of his minor "business"
expenses. ... But whatever its broader objective, its narrow
one, to satisfy tax auditors, was always on my mind" (Warhol xvi). ... He may have
changed since the 60s, but it is still the truest representation of Andy,
himself. ... The first
major influence on Andy Warhols life was the stepping stone of his
artistic career, his enrollment in and completion of Carnegie Institute of
Technology with a bachelor degree in pictorial design. ... Warhol,
with his education centered around design, set out to begin his career on
the right foot. ...
Andy may have acquired his use of media exploited images through his
beginning attempts at commercialism. ... Many times, Andy took something simple
and glorified it. ... "One would compare Warhol to the pictorial hyper-realism of
Norman Rockwell, and to the surrealism of Marcel Duchamp, and the
radicalism of Jasper Johns" (Sagan 1). A second major influence in Andy
Warhols life is his participation in the underground film scene. ... Every night, celebrities of art,
fashion, music, and underground film-making crowds gathered in the back
corners of Maxs to try their chance at working with Warhol. ... The last and
most important influence on Warhol was his mother, Julia Warhola. When
Andy first arrived in New York, he would share apartments with friends and
acquaintances. ... She would constantly keep an eye out for a wife for Andy. ...
Andy appreciated his mother, and never wanted to explain how she had an
impact on him. ... By then, suffering from senility, she
required constant care and Andy sent her back to Pittsburgh to be cared
for by his two brothers, John and Paul. ... Andy did not except the fact too
kindly.
