The artwork titled “Portraits of the Artists” by Andy Warhol, created in 1967 in the United States, is a notable piece within the Pop Art movement. This screenprint on polystyrene, measuring 51 x 51 cm, belongs to the portrait and self-portrait genre.
The artwork comprises a grid structure, showcasing a repeated pattern of faces, presumably portraits of artists, perhaps including Warhol himself. Each face is rendered in a monochromatic style and placed against a backdrop of varied and vibrant colors such as red, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The method of screenprinting allows for consistent repetition with slight variations in detail, emphasizing Warhol’s signature style. The overlapping use of primary and secondary colors creates a visually striking and dynamic composition, characteristic of the Pop Art movement’s embrace of mass media and popular culture imagery.
