A retrospective of Andy Warhol's work on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art captures his use of artwork to give his subjects personas the way people do now using social media.

Before Instagram and Facebook, before selfies and filters that perfect selfies, there was Andy Warhol, using his art to imbue friends, family, celebrities – even himself – with a certain mystique.

A retrospective of Warhol's work on display in San Francisco captures the artist's ability to use paintings, drawings, photographs and other mediums to create buzz-worthy personas the way people do now using social media.
