To be absolutely honest the person who wins the prize of most amazing American artist would be Andy Warhol. From my point of view, when I first knew of him, I thought of him as a joke. How can art that seems to have absolutely no meaning whatsoever and be so ridiculously simple be praised so much? After a long debate with myself, I found out why Andy Warhol was so famous. He did not follow the rules. He made art that was so incredibly meaningful to some people but so insignificant to others. A wise woman once told me you would never know what it is about unless the creator explains his purpose in detail. Even then, the very author might not exactly know what the point he was trying to make was. Artist such as Andy Warhol who bring a wave of new forms of art due to the inspiration from theirs are the ones that should be remembered. I would like to do something with my life so I too would be remembered something just so darn great that children will learn about me when they are in school. That way when my body is long gone my name will remain for centuries to come.
