Famous for his pop art portraits of celebrities, Andy Warhol Ingrid Bergman, Herself, 1983 is no exception to Warhol’s wonderful oeuvre of portraits. Bergman, a stunning beauty in her own right, is enhanced by soft white lines that flow through her hair and delicately outline her fingers, neck, and facial features. Her profile pops against a background of pastel blue, purple, pink and a brighter orange. Bergman was a Swedish actress popular in American films during the 20^th century. The choice of famous movie star fits in with Warhol’s interest in the commercial – as Hollywood is simple another side to the commercial American life. Interesting for its place within Warhol’s career, this image is also simply enthralling. Light touches the front of Bergman’s face, illuminating her in an otherworldly way. A delight to behold, this fabulous portrait showcases Warhol’s adept ability to portray beauty.
