Who Was Andy Warhol?

Andy Warhol was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement and began his career as a commercial illustrator. In 1956, Tiffany & Co. commissioned him to create holiday card designs featuring Christmas trees, angels, stockings, reindeer, candies, and more. He later created bright Poinsettia prints using bold outlines and vivid colors that made the classic Christmas flower stand out in a whole new way.

Warhol’s graphic, playful style makes him the perfect inspiration for kid-friendly holiday art.
