Warhol was an experimenter and observer for whom authors served as celebrities. Printing methods he used in his commercial designs led to his famous silk-screening technique, and resulting prints and paintings maintained the hand-detailed quality of his early artist books. Warhol’s early career in commercial design, reproduction, artist books, and storytelling profoundly inspired his art-making practice. Children’s books were one of his lifelong interests, with examples spanning five decades, including books he wrote and illustrated, and others that served as source material for artworks.Īndy Warhol, Truman Capote, 1979, acrylic and silkscreen ink on linen, 40 x 40 in., Collection of The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, © 2016 The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. Warhol embraced poetry, romantic fiction, cookbooks, instructional how-to pamphlets and sales catalogues, hand-detailed artist books, and authored best-selling mass-market memoirs. From his collaborative artist books of the 1950s, which featured his mother’s calligraphic writing as well as drawings and poems from male love interests, to his celebrity-centric photo books and Diaries of the 1980s, Warhol chose “new ways to say old things and old ways to say new things,” as he said. His career-long commitment to making and appreciating books was matched by his interest in questioning and experimenting with the way in which a book is presented to its readers. In his life with books, Warhol (1928–1987) was an illustrator, designer, author, editor and publisher, and an admirer.
