Meaning & Analysis

The two prints of Carter were commissioned by the Democratic National Committee as part of Carter’s presidential campaign. Carter’s electoral campaign team chose Warhol to produce these portraits as he was a popular figure amongst young people in New York. The Democrats hoped that Warhol’s celebrity status as an icon of popular culture would attract younger voters in New York to vote for Carter as these votes were crucial to the campaign’s success. Having Warhol participate in the campaign was also a way for Carter to position himself as the progressive candidate in the Presidential race.

While Warhol is best remembered for his portraits of stars like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Elizabeth Taylor, the artist was also interested in depicting politicians and noteworthy figures and turning them into Pop Art icons. As well as Carter, Warhol has produced prints of political figures like Mao Zedong, Vladimir Lenin and Richard Nixon.

  • 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.
