**Myths: The Shadow FS II.267 by Andy Warhol** is a captivating screenprint with diamond dust on Lenox Museum Board, created in 1981. Measuring 38 x 38 inches, this piece is part of an edition of 200 and is hand-signed and numbered in pencil. The artwork is in excellent condition and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

This print is part of the *Myths* portfolio, a series that showcases Warhol’s exceptional sense for powerful motifs of his time. The *Myths* series features iconic American characters and figures from 1950s television and old Hollywood films, including Mickey Mouse, Howdy Doody, Superman, Santa Claus, Dracula, The Wicked Witch of the West, and Uncle Sam.

*The Shadow* (FS II.267) is a standout piece from this collection. Inspired by the fictional radio crime fighter from Warhol's childhood, the screenprint features Warhol himself as the hero. The image is based on a photograph where Warhol, without the usual cloak and hat of The Shadow, is depicted with a dramatic, elongated shadow cast by a strong light source. This self-portrait reflects Warhol’s personal identification with the character and his belief in the surface-level nature of art and personal identity. As Warhol remarked in 1967, "If you want to know about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it."

You will appreciate this piece for its blend of Warhol's iconic pop art style with a deeply personal theme. *The Shadow* offers a glimpse into Warhol’s introspective side and his fascination with the interplay between appearance and reality. Owning this print adds a significant work from one of Warhol’s most intriguing series, providing insight into both his artistic vision and personal reflections.
