Even as a boy, Andy Warhol was interested in drawing – but too shy to show his work to others, even his family. He turned his attention to the ordinary, such as the soup cans he ate from for lunch every day. As an adult, he got a chance to publish his first illustration for a glamorous magazine. Warhol showed the world that ordinary objects could tell stories, and he founded a cultural movement.
