Someone in round glasses, a double-breasted suit and striped knitted tie smoking a cigar, photographed by Andy Warhol

Not only did Andy Warhol know his way around a tin of soup, he also knew how to take a good photograph. Whereas some photographers like to mull around debating shutter-speeds and darkroom wizardry, Big Andy just got straight to the heart of the matter, firing off thousands of black and white, flashed-out shots of his high-society mates having a laugh. Very nice indeed.
