Meaning & Analysis

The Ten Portraits Of Jews Of The Twentieth Century series was the idea of Warhol’s dealer, Ronald Feldmen who, along with Susan Feldman, the art gallery director of the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Washington, came up with the list of ten names. This print is one of the darker portraits of the series wherein Warhol uses largely dark hues of blue against red and black outlines. The original image is barely visible behind the veneer of 1980s Pop Art and Warhol creates a pulsating image with his deliberately misaligned hand drawn contours.

Warhol transforms this historical image into an icon that pervades in the present, alluding to Buber’s lasting fame in 1980s American popular culture. Not only does this play into Warhol’s exploration in themes of mortality that are present throughout his entire career, but it captures his continued infatuation with the concept of fame. Warhol uses a mixture of hand drawn lines, unlikely colours, abstracted geometric shapes and the original photographic image to present the paradox between representation and reality.

  • Andy Warhol was a leading figure of the Pop Art movement and is often considered the father of Pop Art. Born in 1928, Warhol allowed cultural references of the 20th century to drive his work. From the depiction of glamorous public figures, such as Marilyn Monroe, to the everyday Campbell’s Soup Can, the artist challenged what was considered art by blurring the boundaries between high art and mass consumerism. Warhol's preferred screen printing technique further reiterated his obsession with mass culture, enabling art to be seen as somewhat of a commodity through the reproduced images in multiple colour ways.
