Meaning & Analysis

Lillian Carter was published to raise funds for Carter’s presidential campaign and having Warhol participate in the campaign meant that Carter was able to position himself as the progressive candidate and win over many young voters in New York who idolised Warhol due to his celebrity status and love of popular culture.

The portrait of Cater is more abstract than those of her son as the print is made up of blocks of colour which are layered over one another. In this composition, Warhol uses a mix of bright and bold colours, a signature element of the artist’s visual style, as well as thin sketch-like black gestural lines to delineate the woman’s features and sophisticated suit jacket. On Carter’s jacket at the bottom right of the composition is a badge of Jimmy Carter smiling. The tiny image on the badge resonates strongly with the grinning Jimmy Carter in Warhol’s own portraits of the politician.

  • 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.
