    He painted his famous cans of Campbell's Soup, which

    His Campbell’s Soup cans became his primary


    Subject and gain him his notoriety.
    commercialism
    "I started as a commercial
    artist," and I want to finish
    as a business artist.... I
    wanted to be an Art
    Businessman or a
    Business Artist. Being
    good in business is the
    most fascinating kind of
    art.“ – Andy Warhol
    His interest in money as well as deal-making apparent
    in the production of the ten portraits' exhibit has been
    noted by his critics.
    After Marilyn Monroe’s
    death, Pop Art founder Andy
    Warhol spent four months
    making silkscreens based on a
    publicity still of Monroe from her
    film, “Niagara.” Fusing art with
    mass production, Warhol
    created brilliantly colored
    multiples of her image.
    Fascinated by morbid subjects
    and celebrity, he symbolized
    Monroe’s mortality, and her
    media saturation through brash,

    Warhol one day have difficulty on
    thinking what to paint, so he asked one of his
    friends what he should paint. She told him to
    paint everything he loves. The Warhol come up
    with the idea to paint money.

    “American money is
    very well-designed, really. I
    like it better than any other
    kind of money,” –Andy Warhol

    Perhaps the most
    harrowing and enigmatic of
    Warhol's self-portraits were his
    last, done in 1986. In these
    monumental images the artist
    presented himself as a
    macabre, disembodied head
    floating in a black void and
    staring hypnotically at the
    viewer, hair rising off his head
    like a snaky-haired Medusa.
