The artist was born in the USA (Pittsburgh, a smoky industrial city) on August 6th 1928. His parents came from Slovakia. They emirgrated because the life there was too hard.
His real name was Andrew Warhola.
When he was a boy, his first gift was a camera and he developed his photos in his dark room by himself.
He was very talented / gifted.
He wanted to be a tap dancer but he chose to study drawing and painting at university.
The family was very hard-working: Andrew began selling his artwork at 10, his mother sold paper flowers, ...
