I chose this image of Andy Warhol to focus on outline and shape which is a key feature of silhouette shapes. Warhol has taken a simple idea of using himself as the subject and looking face on in the camera captured various images during different periods of his life. By using a black background in his series of last self portraits he has been able to change the colour of the face to many different colours by using acrylic and screen-prints on canvas. What I like about this image is how Warhol has put a uncontrollable wig on which has added to the outline of this head and if you were to take away the image of his face you would be left with a interesting outline. This image has relevance to my work if you look at the positive and negative spaces surrounding Warhols head.
