Andy Warhol — Jon Gould
Andy Warhol

Jon Gould

1981

This portrait presents a stylized rendering of a young man in the distinctive aesthetic of Pop Art. The subject is depicted with sharp, outlined features and rendered in a limited palette of cool tones, including turquoise, pink, and gray. He wears a red and gold striped tie and holds his hand near his face in a contemplative pose. The composition exemplifies the screen print technique characteristic of 1980s portraiture, with bold color fields and graphic simplification creating an image of both immediacy and psychological distance.
