Andy Warhol made this screenprint called Love, with ink on paper, and what strikes me is how he makes the process so visible, so raw. See how the black, red and yellow lines don't quite meet? It's like a slightly out-of-register printing press, a deliberate looseness. It makes the figures feel alive, like they're vibrating with energy. The layering gives depth, almost like a 3D effect. The ghosted grey figure in the background is a hazy memory, a feeling. It reminds me a little of Picabia's late, layered paintings, but Warhol brings his own pop sensibility. It's not about perfection, it's about the messy, imperfect beauty of love. It's a reminder that art, like love, is often about embracing the unresolved.
