Warhal, Do It Yourself

I love the concept of this painting by Andy Warhal. It is titled Do It Yourself. It was painted in 1962 using Acrylic on Canvas.

As its ironic title indicates, Warhol’s painting paraphrases the painting-by-numbers sets advertised in countless department store catalogues, promising that amateurs can become real artists simply by filing out the numbered fields with the “right” colours.
