Andy #Warhol was born #OTD (6 August 1928 – 22 February 1987). Here’s a unique life-size portrait of Warhol holding his dachshund Archie by his friend Jamie Wyeth, on display at Brandywine Museum of Art:

“In some of Jamie Wyeth's more recent work he has begun to cross the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and real life by using objects like doors and windows as the starting point of his compositions. He adds paintings, specialty lighting, and other objects to make what is sometimes called an "assemblage" a collection of things brought together to make a single work of art. First in the Screen Door Sequence is an actual wooden screen door that Wyeth found decorated with patriotic stars and stripes. It was already a piece of American folk art when Wyeth added a painted panel depicting a life-size portrait of Andy Warhol holding his dog Archie.”
