AMERICAN MASTERS Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film“Nicknamed the Prince of Pop, Warhol is best known for his paintings of daily objects, such as Campbell Soup cans, and celebrities, like Marilyn Monroe. In the '60s, these paintings gained their popularity because they changed the standards of commercial art by encompassing characteristics of fine art. He also expanded his repertoire to include off-beat films, such as "Sleep," which showed poet John Giorno sleeping for over five hours.”
