HE INSPIRED HIMSELF! Born Andrew Warhola, August 6, 1928, in the industrial city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Andy Warhol is best known for his exploration of Pop Art, mass producing images of mass produced objects. His most famous works depicted Campbell's soup cans. Enlarged, hand-painted or silkscreened, framed, and hung in an art gallery, Warhol succeeded in turning these mundane images into ironic "art". Warhol experimented in media such as film, sculpture, paint, and silkscreen, but perhaps his greatest work was his invention of himself as an international celebrity and pop culture icon. Everything around Andy Warhol was an influence! But he was an original! It's very hard to say who influenced him!

His works were varied and covered everything from print, to silkscreening and filmaking. He is most famous for his "Pop Art" paintings, but he was also a successful commercial illustrator. Throughout his works (and even his public interactions) he was noted for a deadpan Keatonesque quality, often exacerbated by a refusal to explain his works or his inspirations.
the freak of a pop art was created to make sure that fools do not mess with the stupidity of it. Ok Wikipedia i am kidding. It makes sure that they are crazy. Well, i really don't know. Go on wikipidea it is onver there. This is all a rubbish area and no one will miess with it. Look here' Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture can be fine art.
True.
Andy Warhol.
Peter Tay was born circa 1926 in Johnstown Penn. He is a priest within the Byzantine Rite of the Catholic Church, now retired on the Northside of Pittsburgh Penn. Peter Tay is most famously known as the priest who presided at the funeral mass and burial of the famed artist, Andy Warhol.
Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture can be fine art. Lichtenstein was a pop artist as were Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and many others.
In the Catholic church the alternate name for a funeral Mass would be: Requiem Mass or even referred to as an: Ecclesiastical Funeral.

There are no cremation rites. If a cremation takes place before the funeral mass takes place, the ashes of the individual may be present at the church for the mass. The Church much prefers that a funeral be held before cremation.
The name of the (catholic) funeral mass is: Requiem (Latin for eternal "rest").
