Andy Warhol

I have seen this piece of art, along with many, many other photos of Marilyn, hanging on my Aunts wall for years and years. It was the one that I always looked to first, and I have always loved it! I started reading this book, and I wanted to know a little more about Andy Warhol, so I Googled his name, and found this picture! I love when I can connect new things to old things. I have a deeper appreciation for learning when it is tied to something already a part of me.. if that makes sense! :)

I also saw a quote on one page I went to, that I have heard somewhere before... I think my mom talked about this quote a loooooong time ago! I like the simplicity of it, and how he makes his point so understandable which makes him even more so relatable.

"What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, too. A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."
