Many of Warhol's most famous paintings take images of celebrities from popular media as their source. In 1980, a book called ‘The Beatles’ was published about the British pop group and Warhol designed the front cover, based on a photograph by the celebrity photographer Dezo Hoffmann. Warhol incorporated irregularly shaped colored blocks appearing like collaged fragments of colored paper, with hand-drawn lines, evoking the psychedelic album covers that The Beatles produced in the 1960s. Though more associated with The Rolling Stones than The Beatles, preferring their ‘bad-boy’ image to The Beatles' ‘squeaky clean’ look, this Warhol portrait has become an iconic image of the group.
