Hammer and Sickle

1976, Andrew Warhol

The Hammer and Sickle created by Warhol after a trip to Italy where he saw the symbol many times in the form of graffiti. Warhol created this work more as a pop culture symbol rather than political. However, many rebels in New York came and viewed the artwork. This work inspired some Communist thought in America but mostly was created as to make art out of a popular symbol.
