Autorretrato

Andy Warhol American
1979
Not on view
Muitas das obras de Warhol podem ser interpretadas como uma meditação sobre a transitoriedade da vida, desde os retratos icônicos de Jacqueline Kennedy, estoica no sofrimento, até as pinturas de crânios de meados da década de 1970. Aqui, o artista, com o rosto mortalmente pálido e os olhos cerrados, aparece como um santo martirizado, suspenso entre as agonias da carne e a ofuscante luz branca do além. Esta imagem dramática, desprovida da ironia aparente de muitos outros autorretratos de Warhol, parece aludir à tentativa de assassinato que sofreu em 1968, que antecipa de forma chocante sua morte prematura.
