Pelé 1977

Andy Warhol's 1977 silkscreen print, *Pelé*, portrays the legendary Brazilian footballer in a bold and vibrant style. The iconic athlete is depicted in a close-up, with a soccer ball taking up a prominent part of the composition. Warhol's signature use of bright colors, flat planes, and repetitive imagery gives the work a striking and almost pop-art aesthetic. The inclusion of the soccer ball and the star prominently displayed on it further emphasizes Pelé's sporting prowess.
