Andy Warhol: A Graphic Biography by Michele Botton

informative lighthearted reflective slow-paced

3.0

This graphic novel gave a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes life of Andy Warhol. I really appreciated the brief, simple, to-the-point summary at the very start of the comic that explained what pop art actually is as well as its intended "purpose". The artwork is interesting and unique throughout, with some pages mimicking the infamous style of Warhol himself. The one thing I didn't like was the complete change in font and font size, sometimes halfway through a sentence, which was jarring and seemed unnecessary. The character of Warhol was also quite flat and two-dimensional, however, given that the author was attempting to summarize an entire life into one book, that's to be expected.
