As we are learning about Pop Art, we've learned that Andy Warhol has played a major role in the Pop Art movement. He changed the way people looked art and made it contemporary and modern. He spent hours in his studio "The Silver Factory" making the simplest things into art masterpieces. Warhol was also obsessed with modern icons and celebrities. At the time Bob Dylan was one of the most praised singers and songwriters. He was at the peak of his career and Warhol was obviously interested in Dylan. In the documentary of Andy Warhol we saw that Dylan was present there, not only because Warhol might have been interested in Dylan but they were also quite similar. Warhol defied the norm with his modern contemporary works and like Warhol, Dylan defied the norm also. His music defied the typical pop music. His music contained political messages which everyone did not agree with but they did enjoy his music. Similar to how everyone didn't agree that Warhol's work was art but many did appreciate it and start to follow after him. It was later said Dylan and Warhol no longer had a friendship because of Dylan's dislike towards Warhol because of Edie Sedgwick.
