[French, literally: one who sees, from voir to see, from Latin vidēre]

Warhol was also called a mirror of 60's society. He was called a camera, since his principal artistic impulse was to record events.

Inscrutable: incomprehensible; mysterious or enigmatic
[from Late Latin inscrūtābilis, from Latin in-1 + scrūtārī to examine]

Warhol was called "Drella." This nickname was a combination of Cinderella and Dracula.

He was widely criticized for his passivity as he filmed the self-destructive people who gathered at The Factory.

The most famous of his discoveries and film stars was Edie Sedgewick, a tragic figure built up by Warhol before being allowed to slip into oblivion.
