Thirty Are Better Than One

30 Are Better than One, 1964 - Andy Warhol

Thirty Are Better than One by Andy Warhol

Warhol cleverly uses silkscreen ink on canvas to echo advertising and consumerism. Instead of having one Mona Lisa, Warhol uses thirty to depict the mass production where everyone can now own the piece. The main idea of the art piece is "the more the better." Warhol was able to give Leonardo da Vinci's piece a modern twist to catch the public's eye. I was very intrigued by this piece because it represents how big consumer culture really is.
