“A picture means I know where I was every minute. That's why I take pictures. It's a visual diary.” Andy Warhol
Painter, colourist and filmmaker, Andy Warhol (1928-1987) had photography always close to his heart. On the 70th, the artist focused his work , using a Polaroid, in celebrities portraits. Nevertheless, it was in 1976 when Warhol bought a 35mm black and white film. He carried this camera until his death, taking up to 36 frames per day.
So, Warhol invented the Instagram's idea decades ago. Capturing everyday and anytime details, people, street scenes, interiors, landscapes or friends.
An exhibition at the Photographers’ Gallery exposes more than 50 Warhol's black-and-white prints from 1976 until 1987. But that's not all.
