Miguel Bose was born in Panama into a very artistic and culturally diverse family.  His father was Luis Miguel Dominguin, a famous Spanish bullfighter and his mother was Lucia Bose, an Italian actress.  Miguel's godfather was Luchino Visconti the famous Italian director, and Pablo Picasso was the godfather to his sister Paola Dominguin.  Not only was Pablo Picasso a close friend of the family, but so was the world famous author Ernest Hemingway.  Miguel continued his family's artistic slant by becoming a Latin Grammy-winning Spanish/Italian musician and actor.

In the summer of 1983 Miguel Bose was interviewed and photographed by Andy Warhol for the cover of "Interview Magazine."  Bose, during the same year, commissioned Warhol to design the cover of his ninth album "Made In Spain."  This work pictured is a unique color and combination variant using the series of different portrait poses that Warhol created of Miguel Bose during that commissioned project.  The main portrait base color ranges from deep blues to bold greens and the line highlights read left to right from rich reds to orange, yellow, green, and finally to blue.  The result is a very large and beautiful portrait of a great musician by master Pop artist Andy Warhol.
