Artist in break from action? (6)
I believe the answer is:
warhol
'artist' is the definition.
(Andy Warhol)
'break from action?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'action?' could be 'war' (war is a kind of action) and 'war' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for warhol that I've seen before include "US exponent of pop art, d. 1987" , "20th century artist" , "Andy -; he said 'In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes'" , "Modern artist" , "Andy -, twentieth century US artist" .)
