Ingrid Bergman
Fine art by Andy Warhol, Ingrid Bergman (as Herself)
is a silkscreen print by artist Andy Warhol, created in 1983. The artwork is part of a three-piece series of portraits of the Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman commissioned by a Swedish art gallery in the 1980s. The series was created after Bergman's death in 1982.
This specific print, titled "Herself," is based on a publicity photograph of the actress rather than a film still, in contrast to the other two works in the series, "With Hat" (from the film Casablanca) and "The Nun" (from The Bells of St. Mary's).
Warhol's pop art style is evident in the work, which features crisp white outlines tracing Bergman's features and vibrant, contrasting color blocks in the background. The use of silkscreen printing, a method of mass reproduction, reflects Warhol's fascination with celebrity culture and the transformation of individuals into icons.
