Ensayo del lote

"Abstraction was not only a way to be taken more seriously, but also—and much more significantly—a refuge from difficulties of reality. In that sense, the Camouflage paintings, in all their formal abstract splendor, can be seen as true portraits of Andy Warhol's inner-self".(B. Colacello, 'Andy Warhol, Abstraction, and the Camouflage Paintings,' Andy Warhol Camouflage, New York, 1998, p. 9).
