9 - Charles Frohman - Self Portrait of Andy Warhol

(From nga.gov)
Andy Warhol created this self-portrait in 1986, the year before his death. He used four photographic images of himself (with his trademark “shocked” hair) and silk-screened them, off-kilter, onto a 6-foot square canvas. The result is four big heads, set in supercharged pink and yellow against a glossy, dense black background. The effect is intense and unsettling.
