Lenin

Author.::.Maxx

By coincidence, Alexandra and I have visited Andy Warhol's exhibition in the Tretyakov's Gallery recently. Since I new little about Warhol's art, being vaguely familiar with world-known acid-coloured portraits of Marilyn and a can of Campbell soup images, I found most of the exhibition quite interesting.

One of the works I found truly amazing is "Lenin". Red-and-pink image on the black background has amazing resemblance with the body that is still in the Mausoleum. I wonder whether Andy Warhol had ever visited the Mausoleum.

This image I found on Ebay gives you a fair impression of the painting, although to appreciate it fully, you have to see the original. If you have a chance to see Warhol's exhibition, do not miss Lenin.
