About General Custer Cowboys And Indians Series Andy Warhol Pop Art Print
General Custer 379 is one of ten prints in Andy Warhol’s 1986 Cowboys and Indians series. This portfolio explores the relationship between the media’s romanticized take on the Old American West and it’s duplicitous effect on correctly understanding history. The portfolio features America’s favorite legends of the Old American West like Annie Oakley and John Wayne; political and wartime figures like Custer; and significant Native American heroes including Sitting Bull. Cowboys and Indians was part of a fecundity of portfolios created by Warhol that year, but this one emerged as one of the most distinguished (and valuable) he ever created. Andy Warhol used distinctive silk-screening technique to create vibrant and repetitive images of famous individuals, capturing their glamour, allure, and often their public personas. Warhol's celebrity portraits, such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Elizabeth Taylor, have become enduring symbols of fame. By elevating these celebrities to the status of art, Warhol challenged traditional notions of high and low culture while exploring the allure and transience of fame. Andy Warhol was an iconic pop artist known for his vibrant and influential paintings. His works, characterized by bold colors and repetitive imagery, explored themes of consumerism, celebrity culture, and the mass media. Warhol revolutionized the art world and became a cultural icon himself. Andy Warhol’s prints are the world’s most sought after art and sell more than any other artist.About the Life Size Posters
