How did Andy Warhol's art affect our view on celebrities?

I need help with my research paper this, and i have no clue where to even begin!

It was known as 'Pop Art'. His did portraits of celebrities reflecting their iconic status in our popular culture. It was a conceptualist art form.

He'd take something common and mass-produced like a can of baked beans then do a painting of it that would be presented as a work of art. It was a revolutionary concept that was kind of a result of the onslaught of mass produced media - an artistic pastiche of it, almost.

Does that make sense? Good luck with the paper. It's sort of a high brow question for this forum, but an interesting one.
