Warhol started painting portraits on commission in the early 1960s. These works developed into a significant aspect of his career and were a main source of income in the 1970s. Many of his subjects were well known in international social circles, the art world, and the entertainment industry at this time. Andy Warhol began his commissioned portraits with a photo shoot using a Polaroid camera. The Polaroid afforded a very high contrast image that Warhol enlarged and transferred onto a silkscreen. Each portrait was “under painted” first. Warhol traced simple outlines of the photographic image onto the canvas and painted in shapes of color. Some portraits were painted in very slick, hard-edge styles whereas others had solid fields of color or more gestural brushwork. Once this initial painted layer was dry, he printed the photographic silkscreen image on top.
