Andy Warhol is associated with pop art,which is often thought of as an American,populist,commercial,superficial and ahistorical cultural form. Yet both Warhol and pop have historical and intellectual influences that are European,elitist and political. These influences remain largely unexamined, although something of them is registered in a common critical sense that Warhol's art satirizes capitalism. This paper seeks to reconsider Warhol's work with reference to neglected aspects of it.
