Carlos has story of Warhol’s Polaroids
Pop artist Andy Warhol’s use of a Polaroid Big Shot camera to create photographic “sketches” for his portraits and other work is the subject of a Sept. 16 talk at noon in the Carlos Museum reception hall.

Joe Madura, art history graduate student and Andrew W. Mellon intern at the Carlos, will discuss the relationship between these “sketches” and the final portraits of actors, athletes, socialites and others as part of the museum’s Food for Thought Lunchtime Lecture Series.

The discussion is in conjunction with “Andy Warhol’s Polaroid Portraits,” on view at the museum through Dec. 14.
