Andy Warhol: Quaker Oats

In Zhang Hongtu’s 张宏图 (1943-) Quaker Oats Mao, composed in 1987 we see a can of “Old fashioned Quaker Oats” with (not quite) Quaker Man adorning it. The original Quaker Man’s dark broad-brimmed bowler-hat and his white curly hair is retouched in red. He is now wearing the green Mao Cap with Red Star and—most importantly—sunrays are emanating from his head.
