High/Low Culture:

Andy Warhol
Website: http://www.warhol.org/collection/art/
Quote:

“Like I always wanted Tab Hunter to play me in a story of my life--people would be much happier imagining that I was as handsome as Allen [Midgette] and Tab were. I mean, the real Bonnie and Clyde sure didn’t look like Faye [Dunaway] and Warren [Beatty]. Who wants the truth? That’s what show business is for--to prove that it’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.”

Andy Warhol, Popism, 248

Article: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/27/arts/27iht-warhol.3306022.html

Andy Warhol connects to the branding of graphic design because he branded himself and contributed in collapsing boundaries between high and low culture by turning every day items into expensive pieces of art.

Helmo

I think helmos work reflect a lot of aspects of fine art with the abstract collaging of layers.
