Andy Warhol * Lighthouse Footwear 1979

Warhol”s ability to outrage, shock and mock pop culture needs no elucidation. Born to a Czech immigrant couple in Philadelphia, he studied applied arts and spent serval years in diverse graphic duties including fashion illustration for Glamour, Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. It wasn’t until the 1960s that he began to apply the techniques of advertising to create the parodies that secured his fame. This poster is something of a visual pun: To advertise reptile shoes, Warhol twists a snake into the delightful shape of a women’s pump.
