ISO Artists before They Were Known

A Visit to the Warhol Exhibit at the Morgan Library

Who knew pop artist Andy Warhol used to have to make a living designing book covers? Or that he self-published some books? Seeing an artist’s early works, before he was known, and his practice scribbles trying out different variations of his name, and learning that he almost failed art class in college gives just a little bit of inspiration to all of us who might be falling a bit short of reaching our dream.

Enjoy the Warhol exhibit at the Morgan Library and Museum through May 15 (or, if you would like a really big dose of him, head to Pittsburgh and visit the Andy Warhol Museum there).
