Many Faces

For this portrait of art collector Ethel Scull, Andy Warhol took her to a photo booth in Times Square where she posed with different gestures and expressions. Then he used photo-silkscreen printing to transfer the photographs onto canvas. Notice how Warhol used multiple colors and positioned the prints in different ways to create thirty-six representations of Scull. Can you see the same pose more than once? How are they similar or different?
