Brainstorm: Cultural Texts
The first i
dea for a cultural text is one I have always been fascinated by- the iconic image of Che Guevara. The two pictures are adaptations of Alberto Korda’s photograph of Che taken in 1960. The colorful picture on the right is Andy Warhol’s pop art image of Che. I want to analyze the cultural significance of Che’s image, and how it changed from a message of communism, violent revolution, and martyrdom to a chic, 60’s era symbol of rebellion.
