Vintage Seekers says

American artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is considered the figurehead of the Pop Art movement in the United States. Warhol's "Mao" (1973) series used silkscreened portraits of the Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong (1893-1976) to draw similarities between Western consumer idolatry and Communist propaganda. On a par with both Warhol's "Marilyn" and "Elizabeth Taylor" series, "Mao" is a truly iconic piece from the 20th century.
