Meaning & Analysis

Warhol knew Man Ray personally and was introduced to him by the Italian art dealer Luciano Anselmino. The portrait was produced shortly before Man Ray died in 1976 and memorialises him as a Pop Art icon. Warhol was interested in the way people were remembered after their death and the role art could play in shaping one’s memory and perception of someone.

Man Ray (F. & S. II.148) was created for an exhibition of Warhol’s work in 1974 at the Galleria Il Fauno in Milan, Italy. Warhol produced many portraits of celebrities and socialites. As well as accepting commissions, Warhol also chose particular figures that he admired to paint. Warhol cites Man Ray as having had a tremendous influence on his own artistic development and the artist’s admiration shines through in this elegant portrait.

  • Andy Warhol was a leading figure of the Pop Art movement and is often considered the father of Pop Art. Born in 1928, Warhol allowed cultural references of the 20th century to drive his work. From the depiction of glamorous public figures, such as Marilyn Monroe, to the everyday Campbell’s Soup Can, the artist challenged what was considered art by blurring the boundaries between high art and mass consumerism. Warhol's preferred screen printing technique further reiterated his obsession with mass culture, enabling art to be seen as somewhat of a commodity through the reproduced images in multiple colour ways.
