The Nun is the second print from Andy Warhol’s Ingrid Bergman portfolio. Throughout the series, Warhol depicts the esteemed Swedish actress in three different roles, with only one being the ‘real’ Bergman outside a costume.
Within the screenprint, Warhol uses bright blocks of colour to frame Bergman’s face, ranging from pinks to blues to yellows to oranges. Warhol depicts Bergman in costume as The Nun from her iconic film The Bells of St. Mary’s. However, Warhol removes any saint-like qualities of a nun and transforms Bergman’s character into a gaudy Pop Art masterpiece. Furthermore, Warhol juxtaposes the chaste qualities of a nun with the character of Ingrid Bergman, notorious for scandalous affairs, as Warhol masterfully uses colour to emphasise her lips and eyes to suggest makeup.
