newloverofbeauty:Andy Warhol: Skull (1976) Andy Warhol (US, 1928 - 1987)Jane Daggett Dillenberger claims that Warhol’s Skulls are inspired by the “Momento Mori” and the Renaissance paintings… Dillenberger also questions the representation of the skull within christianity (the skull often appears at “the foot of the cross”). Warhol’s sick father and the shooting have influenced the nature of his work.
