About this artwork
Portrait of David Bowie in colorful Camouflage
I met Andy in 1976 and we went to parties in Stockholm, Paris, and New York.
He inspired me to become a Pop Artist and in return I inspired him to do his Camouflage prints by showing him mine. I thought in 1980 it was a cool twist to make something like a military camouflage created to disappear a soldier or tank and not to be seen, and instead make it so bright and colorful in order to be see. Andy… obviously thought so to and made his large camo versions of the Statue of Liberty and the German artist Joseph Beuys who actually had been a highly decorated soldier in the German Luftwaffe during WW2. So today after 40 years I feel I can use this pop art camouflage pattern on my art without having to ask for permission.
