His oeuvre during the first decade of his career, before he became the godfather of Pop, has proven to be enormously influential on his life's work, but it remains little-known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1953, Warhol created two unique series of drawings, quite different from his commissioned work. In one series, he developed an ensemble of spirited women that were derived from photographs of stage divas and of men in drag.
