HISTORICAL NOTES
This work marks a deviation from Warhol’s typical artistic style.
Rather than showcasing the Pop Art technique that made him famous, here, Warhol appears to revisit his earlier, simplistic illustrative style. As such, the work alludes to his early career as a commercial artist, when his output mostly included hand-drawn advertisements for shoes and other consumer goods.
In many of Warhol’s catalogue the artist is not present in the work, instead here by hand-coloring, shading, and adding subtle hues to some of the flowers and their parts, this series maintains Warhol’s personal touch, which is what makes this work so special.
