This cover above is obviously for Vogue magazine, but it was created by Andy Warhol in 1984 (found on Print's website). I was really drawn to the cover because of the bright, vibrant color used. The cover is very Postmodern without a doubt because it uses an illustrative decorative element that outlines a highly saturated photograph. Also there is the overlapping element where here shadow is, that is another characteristic. My curiosity got the best of me and I had to google who or what Caroline De Monaco was. Come to find out that is french for Caroline of Monaco. Caroline is a beautiful french princess who lives at a palace in Monaco. She currently is known as Caroline of Hanover because of her marrying Prince Ernst August I wasn't really sure where Monaco was so looked that up. Monaco is right on the edge of France that had somewhat broke away from France. The weird thing is that France takes responsibility for Monaco's defense; it is a very unique relationship the two countries have. Very interesting little history lesson, but a beautiful cover. Reminds me a big of Art Nouveau cause of the beautiful women figure and the almost tendrils of the hair; but it has been modernized and is more Postmodern.
