George Gershwin 1980

Andy Warhol's 1980 silkscreen print, "George Gershwin," is a vibrant portrait of the renowned American composer. Warhol's signature style of bold colors and repetitive imagery is evident in the work, showcasing Gershwin's profile against a background of four distinct colors: pink, purple, green, and brown. The use of silkscreen printing, a technique popularized by Warhol, allows for a flat, graphic quality that emphasizes the iconic status of Gershwin and his music. The work is a testament to Warhol's fascination with celebrity and the pop culture of the 1970s and 1980s.
