Andy Warhol

Paloma Picasso, 1975
From Homage to Picasso

The vibrant colours of the orange, purple and turquoise paper that cover Paloma's right eye sharply contrasts the black and white shading that Warhol uses on her face. This contrast directs you to the exposed eye, luring you into her world as she stares off beyond the context of the paper.     "Somebody called me up and asked me what I thought about Picasso and I said I never think about Picasso, I just think about Paloma" Andy Warhol 1980
