The artwork, titled “Red Lenin,” was created by Andy Warhol in 1987. It belongs to the Pop Art movement and is classified within the portrait genre.
The artwork depicts a stylized portrait of a man with a stark yellow face contrasted against an intense red background. The figure is rendered with bold lines and minimal detail, typical of Warhol’s signature style, which often emphasizes strong contrasts and vibrant colors. The man’s eyes, beard, and collar are highlighted, giving a sense of form and depth amidst the otherwise flat color space. His pose and expression suggest a serious, contemplative demeanor, while the red background emphasizes the intensity and gravity of the subject, aligning with the revolutionary imagery that Warhol frequently explored in his later works.
