Artist in break spent fighting? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

warhol

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'artist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'break spent fighting?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'fighting?' could be 'war' and 'war' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for warhol that I've seen before include "Leader of the Pop Art movement" , "15-minute artist?" , "20th century artist" , "Andy ... modernist artist" , "US exponent of pop art, d. 1987" .)
