Andy Warhol creates Digital Artwork

Sometimes I wonder what history would be like if great artists of the world had access to a computer. How would DaVinci or Van Gogh use it to create art? Would they use it at all?

Interestingly enough, I ran across this clip of Andy Warhol creating a portrait on an early version of a digital painting program. Its interesting to see how warhol uses it, and how it compares to his traditional work, even in the computer's early state.

Often, since we are taught history in isolated events and chunks independant of a larger picture, I forget sometimes how timelines overlap. Its shocking to think Andy Warhol had access to digital art, but its an interesting reality I would love to learn more about.
