May 1969
Art director George Lois created this May 1969 cover for Esquire to show the juxtaposition of pop culture while deconstructing celebrity. The image of a drowning Andy Warhol was a friendly spoof of the artist's famous Campbell Soup artwork, a pervading symbol of the Pop Art movement. The magazine article was entitled "The final decline and total collapse of the American avant-garde."
