ANDY WARHOL THE KING OF SCREENPRINTING
  
  
ANDY WARHOL SELF PORTRAIT

1973's Mao presents the iconic image of the CHinese revolutionary leader that Warhol himself lent such strength and recognition in the United States. Warhol's images of Mao date from the time of President Nixon's historic visit to Beijing. They act as a foil to the glamour portraits that dominated Warhol's output during this period. In this drawing Warhol showcases both his draughtsmanship and his sense of Pop irony, converting a mass-produced image into a unique hand-drawn work of art.
