Meaning & Analysis

Merce Cunningham I (F. & S. II.124) was published in a portfolio of artworks, Cunningham I, which contained works made by seven artists. The portfolio was published in order to raise funds for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in New York.

The intriguing pose Warhol captures in this print highlights Cunningham’s athletic prowess and the lightness and elegance of his dance movements. There is a stillness to the pose, despite it eliciting motion, which imbues the print with an air of mystery.

  • 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.
