Meaning & Analysis

Warhol renders the cartoon character against a colourful background composed of geometric shapes which captures Warhol’s signature colour-blocking technique. Another characteristic feature of Warhol’s visual style that the artist employs in this print is the use of bold gestural lines. Mickey’s figure is delineated through layers of black, green and white lines. The layered lines bring a sense of dynamism to the print which implies Mickey is being captured mid-motion.

Warhol was fascinated by American consumer culture and popular culture and was often inspired to produce prints of notable icons such as famous cartoon characters or Hollywood stars. Double Mickey Mouse is the second print that Warhol made of Mickey Mouse. Warhol’s first depiction of the popular character, Mickey Mouse, can be found in his Myths collection which the artist made in 1981.

  • Andy Warhol was a leading figure of the Pop Art movement and is often considered the father of Pop Art. Born in 1928, Warhol allowed cultural references of the 20th century to drive his work. From the depiction of glamorous public figures, such as Marilyn Monroe, to the everyday Campbell’s Soup Can, the artist challenged what was considered art by blurring the boundaries between high art and mass consumerism. Warhol's preferred screen printing technique further reiterated his obsession with mass culture, enabling art to be seen as somewhat of a commodity through the reproduced images in multiple colour ways.
