Chanel - Yellow Blue

This poster, part of a series by Andy Warhol for Chanel No. 5 features the sophisticated design of the bottle in the center of the image. Aiming for simplicity, the bottle is the focal point of the poster with a blue to yellow gradient in the background. Chanel No. 5, the timeless and elegant scent was the first fragrance by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. The fragrance represents both the respectable and the demi-monde woman, a melding to signal a celebration of womanhood during the Roaring Twenties. The perfume was perfected in the late summer of 1950 by Ernst Beaux and is based in rose and jasmine scents. Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987) was an American artist, film director and producer. Warhol was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement, where he tackled the integration of art, celebrity and consumerist culture in his works. Well known for his serigraphs such as his Marilyn Diptych and Campbell’s Soup Cans, Warhol also produced and directed his own experimental films such as "Chelsea Girls", c
