During what years was he alive?
1928-987
Post 2 samples of his art. Answer the following questions for each piece.
This Andy Warhol piece, "Mao," implements a complementary color scheme of red and green, with a pink background. I noticed that the boldness of the complementary color scheme is used only on Mao himself, and the background was given a softer color. This sends the message that Mao is the sole importance of this piece.
This classic Warhol print is called "Marilyn Monroe" for obvious resons. He uses only a triadic color scheme, except for Ms. Marilyn's skin. This is effective because it puts more focuse on her eyes, hair, and lips, what Warhol probably thought were her most important features. I also noticed that he did not use basic shades of the colors he did choose.
