Flash—November 22, 1963 1968

Andy Warhol's "Flash—November 22, 1963" (1968) is a silkscreen print that uses the iconic image of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Warhol's use of pop culture references, such as this tragic event, and his signature repetitive imagery made him one of the leading figures in the Pop Art movement. The artwork utilizes silver paint and features various floral motifs and a newspaper headline from the day of the assassination. This piece demonstrates Warhol's mastery of the silkscreen technique and his ability to transform shocking and tragic events into provocative and thought-provoking works of art.
