Other way around, really; Dean was an artsy beatnik sculptor, so he basically wore the Cartoon Beatnik Uniform (like Rarity in the art gallery) minus the goofy beret.

He was experimenting with/pointing out the artificiality of ment and media.
If you’ve never seen any of his stuff beyond paintings, you’re missing out on part of the picture, as well. Here, have an internet review for an example. “Blood For Dracula” and “Flesh for Frankenstein” are also worth digging up the reviews for if you can find them, if nothing else for the hilarious-mazing over-the-top accents. Udo Kier especially.

Focusing on the physical medium is the wrong tack with Warhol; he was a performance artist, so his primary medium was the reactions people had to his work. He was essentially an art scene supertroll who predated the web, pretty much Banksy but with more drugs and superfreak club sex.
I think he was enormously overrated, but unlike Dalí– who did both, and did them infinitely better– physical artwork was never really what Warhol was about.

Another (un)fun fact: Whenever people asked Picasso what his work “meant”, he would always shoot at his critics with blanks from his loaded gun
(Un)fun fact: When Picasso was first born in his home country, doctors found that he wasn’t breathing and assumed that Picasso was not going to live for too long, causing the rest of the family to mourn over the loss. It wasn’t until Picasso’s uncle decided to blow a puff of cigarette smoke into his face that lil’ Picasso started breathing again.
Thinking of The Iron Giant before Warhol just shows you have excellent taste.

I suppose everyone takes criticizm differently.

That’s one hell of an addiction.
Actually nothing. Ask the people in 60s.

i don’t get it? what’s so great about soup cans?
One of Warhol’s most famous paintings depicts a soup can (Campbell brand soup, to be exact).
Edited
Yeah probably the reason why soup can is his cutiemark because all of his art revolved around advertisment.
Google “
andy warhol soup cans”.Warhol sorta got famous because of printing out 32 soup cans of Campbell’s.
Wikipedia says the following.
Well it’s based on this
