Mammy 262 by Andy Warhol is one of ten screenprints from the Myths portfolio created in 1981. The artist ventured out in terms of subject matter to portray political and community leaders, professional athletes, scholars, inventors, and iconic fictional characters. The Myths collection expands the artist’s interests in the preservation of fame. Straying from the realm of reality, the series depicts globally-recognized figures from old Hollywood films, Walt Disney cartoons, folklore, classic literature, and more. Though these characters derive from numerous sources, they share a common thread in that they transformed the world of entertainment in tremendous ways. Their fame and ubiquity have withstood the test of time, as they remain integral to the intricate legacy of 20th-century American popular culture.
