INGRID BERGMAN WITH HAT 315
The Ingrid Bergman series is made up of three types of screenprints of the Academy Award-winning actress in 1983. The source images used for these portrait pieces include movie still from her role in the 1942 film Casablanca (With Hat), a movie still from the 1945 film The Bell of St. Mary’s (The Nun), and also a publicity photo (Herself). The screenprints are printed on Lenox Museum Board and were done by request of a Swedish art gallery. The portfolio was printed by Rupert Jasen Smith in New York and published by Galerie Borjeson, Malmo Sweden.
INGRID BERGMAN WITH HAT 315 BY ANDY WARHOL IS PART OF A LARGER BODY OF WORK
After the success of the Campbell’s Soup series in the early 1960s, Warhol began creating screenprints of movie star portraits including Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Elizabeth Taylor. This print is indicative of Andy Warhol’s obsession with all things relating to fame, especially movie stars. His fascination with pop culture spilled over into his creative output, which is evident by his prints of movie stars, Campbell Soup cans and political figures. His art is a visual recording of the culture of his time.
