Tidal Basin

Silkscreen by Andy Warhol, 1972, depicting Mao Zedong in bold colors—blue face, green suit—transforming a political figure into pop art.

Screenprint in colours, from the set of ten, on Beckett High White paper - Signed in ball-point pen on the reverse, stamp-numbered - Published by Castelli Graphics and Multiples Inc., New York, with the artist's copyright stamp verso // Andy Warhol's Mao (F. & S. II.99) (1972) is an iconic silkscreen print that exemplifies the artist's exploration of political power and fame through his distinctive Pop Art lens. This limited edition screenprint measures 90.9 x 91 cm and is part of a set of ten, printed on Beckett High White paper. Warhol transforms the image of Chinese Chairman Mao Zedong with his signature bold colors, here using striking blue for the face against a vivid green suit and a teal background. The portrait features Warhol’s familiar gestural strokes, adding an element of dynamism to the flat surface. This work, stamped and signed by Warhol on the reverse, reflects his fascination with celebrity culture and the commercialization of iconic figures. By appropriating Mao's image, Warhol recontextualizes a symbol of political authority into a piece of mass culture, reinforcing his commentary on the intersections of politics, power, and consumerism in contemporary society.

What is late modernism?

Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
