General George S. Patton was America's antihero of the Second World War. Driven by an innate sense of duty, both to his family’s great military tradition and to his country, he was fixated on the notion of reaching the status of a military legend and driven by outdated notions of honor. Simultaneously brilliant and deeply flawed, he could be daring and noble and then petulant and cruel, lacking in the diplomatic grace and tact that defined many of his contemporaries.

Personaggio trasgressivo e rivoluzionario, Andy Warhol ha saputo interpretare la società dei consumi con uno sguardo freddo e critico, ma senza giudizio. La sua opera mostra come il consumismo svolga nella società un doppio ruolo di identificazione con gli oggetti-segni e di sublimazione della paura della morte.
