Series Information
The series consists of ten portraits of influential Jewish figures from the 20th century, whom Warhol nicknamed "Jewish geniuses".
Subjects include Sarah Bernhardt, Louis Brandeis, Martin Buber, Sigmund Freud, George Gershwin, Franz Kafka, the Marx Brothers, Golda Meir, and Gertrude Stein.
The series was suggested to Warhol by art dealer Ronald Feldman and was first exhibited at the Jewish Museum in New York in 1980.
Warhol used archival photographs as source images for the portraits, which he then overlaid with blocks of high contrast color and hand-drawn lines, a signature element of his Pop Art style. |
