The first significant organization of Expressionist artists in Germany was founded in Dresden in 1905. More immediate to the 20th-century Expressionists, however, were the examples of such "Post-Impressionist" artists as Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Edvard Munch, all of whom freely distorted form and color to articulate inner sensations and emotions. Many works of Gothic sculpture and painting are clearly infused with a spirit akin to that of the Expressionists of the 20th century, as were other works produced by artists in Germany and elsewhere in the North during following centuries. It has often been pointed out that much of Northern European art from the Middle Ages onward carried an Expressionist current. In the visual arts, its exponents rejected the optical realism of both academic art and Impressionism in favor of deliberate distortions of form and color for expressive effect. Expressionism manifested itself in poetry, painting, sculpture, and later, in film, always emphasizing emotional and spiritual states of mind. Although these various surges of activity differed in many ways, the impulse underlying all of them was a drive to communicate subjective experience and personal feelings. It encompassed a number of creative movements that arose in cities throughout Europe at the beginning of the Twentieth century. But his incredible legacy as the worldwide leader of Pop Art lives on throughout the art and design industries today.Expressionism was not a single style. Sadly, that day we lost one of the art world’s brightest lights. Because he had been putting off the surgery for so long, his gallbladder infection had become such a severe issue that it was no longer a routine operation but a life-threatening medical emergency. In 1973 Warhol deliberately avoided having gallstone surgery because, as one his doctor’s said, “He was convinced if he was hospitalized, he would die.” One of Warhol’s doctors noted that this fear of hospitals and medical treatment was a contributing factor in Warhol’s death.
This fear of death played out in Warhol’s many prints of skulls. Having a near-death experience further intensified his pre-existing fear of hospitals and he went out of his way to avoid getting medical treatment. The shooting incident left Andy Warhol deeply traumatized.

Looking back, Warhol’s private doctor said that Warhol was in “good health” when he entered the hospital. This caused an internal pressure that ultimately led to heart failure. During the court case, Warhol’s family stated that he had suffered during surgery of “over-hydration.” Evidence they presented showed that the hospital had negligently pumped too much fluid into Warhol’s body.

Ryan described Warhol as a “sick person,” with a series of health issues brought about by his partying lifestyle, as well as his horrific shooting by Valerie Solanas years earlier (more on this below).

He noted, “He could have gotten (the surgery) scheduled and done earlier, had he been more preventative about his health.” It is also worth noting, that while Warhol’s operation was ‘routine’, surgeon Dr. Jose Diaz, curator of the Andy Warhol Museum says Warhol was his own worst enemy. He had been putting off his gallbladder surgery for years because of this anxiety. Throughout his life Warhol had an intense fear of hospitals. Sadly, he died unexpectedly of a cardiac arrest. In 1987 Warhol went in to hospital for gallbladder surgery. Andy Warhol Died During Gallbladder Surgery Andy Warhol portrait, image courtesy of Huffington Post
