Original Camouflage Print by Andy Warhol
This Camouflage (FS II.410) screen print by Warhol is part of his Camouflage Complete Portfolio, which includes 8 screenprints featuring variations of the camouflage pattern. Warhol's use of a variety of vibrant, fluorescent colors adds to the visual impact of the print. The artist chose to work with this design due to its abstract nature and immediate recognition.
This print has gained popularity due to its timely relevance with America's military involvement in the Middle East. Warhol's portfolio aims to shed light on America's military involvement in war, but he offers a unique twist by transforming traditional camouflage patterns with eye-catching colors. The result was a new take on camouflage that captured the attention of the fashion industry. In Camouflage 210, Warhol uses bright pink, orange, and purple tones, creating a striking contrast with the traditional greens used for concealment in military attire.
