       | I am absolutely fascinated by Warhol. I thought the newyorker did
       | a nice piece about his life and work. Was detailed and nuanced
       | look at his work, highlighting the many contradictions and
       | complexities that made him such a fascinating figure in the art
       | world and beyond. Also like how his persona was shaped by his
       | experiences as a gay man during a time when homosexuality was
       | largely stigmatized and illegal. It also touches on Warhol's
       | infamous shooting by Valerie Solanas in 1968 and its impact on
       | his art and personal life.
       | 
       | Also did you know Warhol was a devout Catholic? Despite his
       | controversial artwork, Warhol was a devout Catholic who attended
       | church regularly and often carried a rosary with him. He even
       | established a foundation to support the preservation of Catholic
       | church art and architecture.
       | 
       | He was also a prolific filmmaker! In addition to his artwork,
       | Warhol also made more than 600 films over the course of his
       | career.
