Further information: Hans Namuth (German, 1915–1990) gained notoriety during his lifetime for his portraits of famous modern artists. In particular, he is most widely recognized for his iconic portraits of the Abstract Expressionist painter by Jackson Pollock. Initially, Namuth was skeptical of Pollock’s artistic technique, however, he came to respect Pollock’s talent after being convinced by his teacher, Josef Breitenbach, that Pollock’s artistic innovations were significant. At the time, Namuth’s portraits of Pollock helped to establish a new image of the male artist as a genius, one who is both feeling and staunchly masculine. Related Categories Warhol photos.

Christopher Makos Andy Warhol from Altered Image series (exhibition announcement) Brilliantly rendered, frameable announcement card published in 1989 to announce two New York exhibitions: 'Painting & Sculpture by Andy Warhol / Photographs of Andy Warhol by Christopher Makos and Everything by Makos.' Image is an offset rendering from Makos' famed 'Altered Image Series, Andy Warhol (1981).' Offset lithograph on wove paper Height 6.75 in.; Width 5.25 in. (6.75 x 10.5 inches open) "Andy Warhol enjoyed dressing for parties in drag, sometimes in dresses of his own design. He admired 'the boys who spend their lives trying to be complete girls,' so in 1981 he and a photographic assistant, Christopher Makos, agreed to collaborate on a session portraying Warhol in drag. In many ways, they modeled the series on Man Ray's 1920s work with the French artist Marcel Duchamp, in which the two artists created a female alter ego name Rrose Sélavy for Duchamp. Warhol and Makos made a number of pictures, both black-and-white prints and color Polaroids, of their first attempt. For the second round of pictures, they hired a theater makeup person. This stage professional better understood the challenge of transforming a man's face into that of a woman. After the makeup, Warhol tried on curled, straight, long, short, dark, and blonde wigs. Here he appears in a conventionally masculine white shirt and plaid tie...
