Mao (F. & S. II.125A) is a screen print by the Father of Pop art, Andy Warhol. Released in 1974 in an edition of 100, this print features a striking portrait of the Chinese communist leader Chairman Mao Zedong. This print follows on from Warhol's 1972 series, Mao, where he released ten screen prints of the chairman in various colourways.
Relying on his typical method of screen printing with the aim of mass-production, Warhol reflects the wide distribution of Mao’s image in communist China whilst also comparing this to the obsessive production of mass-media images in capitalist America. The result is a humorous social commentary on these opposing systems of power during the political tensions of the Cold War.
