Taken from his renowned Mao series from 1972, Mao (F. & S. II.96) is a print by Andy Warhol that features a striking portrait of the Chinese communist leader Chairman Mao Zedong. The print contrasts orange hues in Mao’s face and brownish-orange tunic against an off-white background. The colors seep into his eyes and Warhol has deliberately created imperfections with the ink.
