In the early 1960s, the Champion Paper Company hired advertising firm Campbell Ewald to launch an a campaign called "Face to Face" where photographers would shoot images of illustrators and illustrators would draw the photographers. Robert Hungerford was the campaign's creative director and commissioned Warhol, along with Gordon Parks and Austin Briggs among others, for the project.
