Callie WAA on 15 Nov 10Furnham, Adrian, and John Walker. "Personality and Judgements of Abstract, Pop Art, and Representational Paintings." European Journal of Personality, vol. 15, issue 1 (2001): 57-72. Web. 15 Nov. 2009. This article is an interesting study conducted by Adrian Furnham and John Walker to see "which personality variables are most predictive of judgments of particular types of painting" (Furnham, Walker 1). They conducted this by having a totally of 124 people judge 24 pieces of art. The artwork was abstract, pop art, or representational paintings. This article gives insight in looking into Warhol's life; as his intentions in his work are often very hard for one to uncover.
