This project was a book redesign project where we took text and pictures from different books to
make a new and better book. After the initial design we bound it ourselves. This book focuses on Andy Warhol in the ‘60s.
The black cover is a laser cut chipboard cover that goes on top of the yellow cover.

Portrait of Postman Joseph
Roulin
Van Gogh
1888
“Every portrait that is painted
with feeling is a portrait of the
artist, not the sitter. The sitter is
merely an accident, the occasion.
It is not he who is revealed by
the painter; it is rather the
painter, who, on the coloured
canvas, revealed himself. The
reason I will not exhibit this
picture is that I am afraid that I
have shown it in the secret of my
soul.”
--Oscar Wilde, The Picture of
Dorian Gray
8. PORTRAITURE : A COUNTERCULTURAL
MOVEMENT
FAIRFIELD PORTER
“To say you cannot paint the
figure today, is like an
architectural critic saying that
you must not use ornament,
or as if a literary critic
prescribed reminiscence. In
each case the critical remark
is less descriptive of what is
going on that it is a call for a
following—a slog demanding
allegiance. In this case
criticism is so much
influenced by politics that it
imitates the technique of
totalitarian party on the way
to power.”

Harold Rosenberg
Elaine de Kooning
1956

“I want my subjects to represent our era, as I think most of
them do. I pose them to bring out what they are.”
Ginny in Striped Shirt
Alice Neel
1969
