Mao 99 is a print by Andy Warhol included in his Mao portfolio from 1972. Mao 99 (sometimes called the “blue Mao”) and the nine other silkscreen prints in the series are the culmination of Warhol’s interest in Chinese culture, specifically, Maosim. The prints represent a puzzle of two opposing political ideologies. However, a glaring synthesis between Chinese propaganda and Warhol’s silkscreen printing technique occurs in the repetition of images. Repetition is the most immediate principle in capturing the attention of the masses–and the massively reproduced works of Zedong and Warhol prove this.
