Jon Gould 1980 - 1985

This black and white photograph titled "Jon Gould" is part of Andy Warhol's "Polaroid" series, created between 1980 and 1985. The image features a close-up of a man's torso, likely Jon Gould, a model and friend of Warhol, seen from the waist up, walking away from the viewer, with a blurry background suggesting a beach or coastline. Warhol's "Polaroids" are known for their candid, intimate portraits, often depicting individuals from his social circle, revealing a glimpse into his artistic exploration of celebrity, identity, and the human condition. The stark contrast and minimal detail in the image contribute to the raw and unpolished aesthetic characteristic of Warhol's style.
