“Drag Queen,” executed in 1975 by the illustrious artist Andy Warhol, is a stunning portrait representative of the Pop Art movement.
The artwork portrays the visage of a drag queen, rendered with Warhol’s characteristic vivid color palette and bold lines. The composition utilizes contrasting hues, with sections of yellow, pink, and blue creating an almost shattered-glass effect that both emphasizes and fragments the subject’s face. The figure’s expression and dynamic pose are frozen in time, encapsulating a moment that is both dramatic and deeply rooted in the Pop Art aesthetic. Warhol’s technique lends a sense of movement and vitality, reflecting the iconic and flamboyant nature of the drag culture.
