The phenomenon Mao fascinated Warhol and, despite all the negative coverage about communist China, Mao became a symbol of absolute political and cultural power. \r\n\r\nWarhol makes him then even more popular with his screen-print series, which at the same time removes his aura of untouchable greatness. Would you like a yellow, red or blue Mao? On a green, pink or peach background? The coloured areas appear to have been printed in a hurry and do not always match, causing overlaps at times. All of that leads to a – literal and figurative – flattening of the image. Coca-cola bottles or electrical chair, seductive film star or terrifying political leader, Warhol treats them all in the same way, as products reflecting our society.\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"In 1972 duikt het portret van Mao steeds vaker op in de Amerikaanse media vanwege de politieke toenadering tussen Amerika en China. Het verschijnsel Mao fascineert Warhol. Ondanks alle negatieve berichtgeving over het communistische China is Mao een symbool van absolute politieke en culturele macht. Warhol populariseert hem verder met zijn zeefdrukseries, maar ontdoet hem ook van zijn aura van onaantastbare grootheid. Wilt u een gele, rode of blauwe Mao? Tegen een groene, roze of perzikkleurige achtergrond? De gekleurde vlakken lijken haastig gedrukt. Ze sluiten niet overal precies aan, en overlappen elkaar hier en daar. Dat leidt letterlijk en figuurlijk tot vervlakking van het beeld. Colaflesje of elektrische stoel, verleidelijke filmster of gevreesd politiek leider, Warhol behandelt alles en iedereen hetzelfde. Het zijn allemaal producten die een afspiegeling vormen van de samenleving."},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":339,"name":"Andy Warhol","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
