This piece by Andy Warhol utilizes
various elements and principles of design in order to achieve an effective
piece. The colors within the piece are arranged in such a way that creates
balance. The blue used for the background is balanced by the blue used around
her eyes; the burnt yellow of her hair is balanced by the corresponding color
in her eyes, and so too with the red of her lips applied to her earrings and
her collar. The eyes are given emphasis by the conjunction of colors used to
form an area of high contrast.
Overall, the piece does not have a
lot of values, but has a high contrast because of the limited values within it.
The black lines and shapes are used to create the subject of the piece and give
it form. There is also a contrast in the shapes of color as compared to the
harsh darkness of the lines of the subject.
