Artist: Andy Warhol
Title: Self Portrait Camouflage
Date: 1986
Material: Polaroid Paint on canvas
Location: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Significance: This self portrait was made only a few months before his passing. He used a Polaroid picture and placed a thin canvas over top so that the basic outline of his features would show through. This picture is kind of creepy. His head is ghostly floating in a deep never ending background. His face has this dead blank expression on it covered in combat paint. This painting expresses how Andy must have felt toward the end of his life. When I stare in his eyes I feel he knew the end was near. The stare is too blank and he's looking off into no where.
