In his Skull series Warhol explores this theme – the skull, screenprinted from a photograph taken by one of Warhol’s assistants, is shown in block colours, to emphasise the areas of light and shadow. Choose your favorite Ramana Maharshi-inspired shirt style: v-neck or crew neckline short, baseball or long sleeve slim or relaxed fit light, mid, or heavy fabric weight. The Temple Bead allows the elasticated cord to pass through when stretched, but holds it in place when relaxed (it's the only one-part stopper ever designed).Īndy Warhol’s work had always contained themes related to death and life, but after he nearly died from a gunshot wound in 1968, he became even more obsessed with death as a concept.
