Warhol vs Seurat



Both of these artists were considered uncomfortable artists of their time. Each for varying reasons. Both challenged the traditions of classic art. So he is the question I pose to you... which is a better artist? What a question!!! But now that we have studied both of these artists and their work, who do you feel is the better of the two and why? Do I know what what or even if there is a right answer...no. Do I want to hear your voice....yes.
