ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was a man who was really good at making pictures that looked like they were made by a machine! He wanted to make art that was simple and easy to understand, and he thought that everyday things like soup cans and celebrities were great things to make pictures of.

He would take pictures of famous people and turn them into bright, colorful posters that people would hang up on their walls. He also made really cool sculptures that looked like everyday things, but were made out of shiny, colorful materials.

A lot of people thought Andy Warhol's art was really interesting and different, but some people didn't like it because they thought it was too simple and didn't take much talent to make. But either way, Andy Warhol is a really important artist who changed the way people thought about art!
