So today for lunch I had.....

this! it was a bbq chicken wrap with a salad and french onion soup. It was really tasty! I had this at Cam's which is located at the wexner center which is currently exhibiting Andy Warhol's works of art. Now if you don't know who Andy Warhol was. He was one of the most important contemporary artists of the 1900's. In addtion He was the leader of the pop art revolution!














Some of his famous works are images you see everyday! He photographed people like mick jagger, marilyn monroe, john lenon, michael jackson (before he became creeper), liza minnelli, and many other famous celebrities




He was also a conceptual artist. One very abstract thing he did was he painted some canvases with copper paint and he has the people that visited his studio piss on them. The result was a very interesting pattern and an array of colors....it's weird but bear with me...it's what the world considers art. There are plenty of other things that are even more "terrible" that I haven't shared with you guys that is in the art world (I probably won't)


What he is really known for is his films. During his times film was just starting to become popular and he was the first artist to use film as a medium for his artwork. He made a lot of short films. For one film he shot the empire state building for 9 hours. Very conceptual. Not my style.

Anyways, that is my rant for today.
