Hans Christian Andersen 401 by Andy Warhol is a screenprint from Andy Warhol’s 1987 Hans Christian Andersen portfolio, based on paper cut out pieces of characters from Andersen’s fairytales. Andersen was a Danish author who became very well known for his fairy tales that were enjoyed by young and old audiences. Warhol was inspired by Andersen, which is why he decided to create a series devoted to the author and his unique characters. The bright outlining in Andersen 401 adds a touch of Pop and allows the character to stand out from the dark background.
