Gerard Malanga

Gerard Malanga is an American poet and photographer, closely associated with the pop art movement and famously known for his collaboration with Andy Warhol. He adapted Jim Fitzpatrick's graphic representation of Che Guevara, which Warhol later authenticated, further embedding Guevara's image in the fabric of popular culture. Malanga's work reflects the intersection of art and politics during a transformative era in the 1960s, where revolutionary imagery became a canvas for broader societal commentary.
