'Andy Warhol, possibly the most important North American artist of our time in visual arts and film, may not be recognized appropriately. Most criticism is related to his person rather than to his art, which, due to its uniqueness of artistic expression, is not easily to be classified in the history of art. His paintings do not correspond to the traditional conception of art, which is tagged by individuality and originality. Warhol consciously chose the way of eliminating personal character in his artistic development.' (Publisher).
