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.93) (1972) is an iconic silkscreen print from his renowned series featuring the portrait of Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party. Warhol transforms this powerful political figure into a pop-art symbol, using his signature technique of vibrant colors and bold contrasts. In this print, Mao’s face is rendered in an unnatural green, set against a flat, muted blue background. His uniform is depicted in shades of pink, adding a playful yet unsettling twist to the image. Warhol overlays the portrait with abstract, gestural brushstrokes, creating a tension between the highly controlled silkscreen process and the spontaneity of his hand-applied marks. This piece challenges the boundaries between political propaganda and mass-media imagery, questioning the role of celebrity and power in visual culture. The artwork is not only a commentary on political figures but also on how they are reproduced and commodified within the media.

What is appropriation?

Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
