'Shocked Hair'
This picture creeps me out a little bit, but at the same time it is pretty cool because it is so simple, yet so effective.
This self-portrait was created in 1986, part of the ‘Pop art’ collection by Warhol, a year before his death. I am not sure what inspired him to have his hair the way he did. He was obviously very out there. I guess it was just part of his abstract nature. He used the ‘Silk-screen process’ to mass-produce his artworks.
There is not too much detail to this self-portrait, what I mean to say is that they are just basic images that have been edited. In the first photo in the top left corner, Warhol has a blank expression on his face and is looking straight into the camera (as he does in all four). He is placed right smack-bang in the centre (As he does in all four) and his hair is not as visible.
In the second, he looks almost scary, but I think it is the hair that gives that impression. In this on, his mouth is slightly open and his hair is more visible.
The third is similar to the first, very little expression. Although, his mouth is open slightly, his right eyebrow is raised ever so slightly and his hair is less visible.
In the forth one, Warhol looks sad or a little bit disappointed, his eyes are not as defined and the hair is more visible.
I think the first image and the third image are slightly the same and the second image and the forth image are the same, which is weird because the top two photos are connected and it is the same with the bottom two…
In this image Warhol has used only two colours, pink and yellow. He has created a multi-image portrait.
