Andy Warhol created Van Heusen (Ronald Reagan) as one of the ten artworks from his Ads series, published in 1985. In the series, Warhol reimagines popular advertisements and propaganda media, showcasing his vivid, ironic, and iconic-sensitive imagination. Van Heusen captures the image of former President Ronald Reagan during his pre-presidential days as an actor and an ambassador for various commercial brands. The screenprint exudes a 3D comic illustration effect, presenting Reagan’s cheerful countenance against a dystopian backdrop, creating a visually captivating and intense composition.
