Andy Warhol’s The Witch forms part of his celebrated Myth series executed in 1981. The works depict fantastical characters and imaginary heroes that typify and epitomize American childhood. Finding origin in allegorical tales, traditional media-adapted creations and ancient beliefs, the images include the figures of Mickey Mouse, Santa Claus and Dracula. Each depiction presents an immediately recognizable and identifiable icon and represents a nostalgic version of the American dream.
