Art is anything you can get away with.
Andy Warhol
Some say
it’s indecent
exposure
I call it art
Your Honour
Andy Warhol was an American visual artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art.
Warhol did for Campbell’s Soup
What Coke did for Santa
Made a big red and white scene
I am a deeply superficial person -Warhol
Warhol's affinity for repetition was a symptom of Asperger's.
In trying times such as these
Genius finds the blessing in disease
And an answer that every straight man knows
You can never have too many Monroes
You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you -Warhol
Bored by bodily functions
Wasting my day away
I would be remiss
Each time I took a piss
If I do not find excitement
and a way
That I can make money from this

June 3, 1968, Valerie Solanas, a troubled writer who wanted Warhol to produce an obscene and violent play she'd written titled 'Up Your Ass', shot him when he 'misplaced' her play.
The woman who shot Andy Warhol
Became a household name
she finally got her movie
But only added to her nemesis fame

In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes -Warhol
Warhol suffered from Sydenham Chorea, a neurological disorder commonly known as St. Vitus dance, characterized by involuntary movements.
The chorea catalyst
In constant motion
Keeps time with change
Which never stops moving
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself -Warhol
An autopsy concluded that “ventricular fibrillation” was the cause of death, meaning that Warhol's heart had quivered and stopped.

irregular beat
the dancing artistic heart
