Meaning & Analysis

Using loose, gestural lines in black to contour and shaded parts of the image, Warhol alludes to the artist’s personal touch to transcend the ‘machine-like’ aesthetic that many of his other works exemplify. In contrast to his earlier Flowers series’ from 1964 and 1970, this print maintains a delicate hand-drawn quality that harks back to his early career in fashion illustration. Returning again and again to the subject of flowers throughout his career in a multitude of ways, this particular print has a clear focus on composition, colour and line, noted for its looseness in style.

For this series, Warhol abandoned his photographic print technique and instead used an opaque projector to copy from wallpaper samples and images from the book Interpretative Flower Designs by Mrs Raymond Rus Stolz. By stripping it of its contextual landscape and leaving the backdrop as a plain white colour field, he abstracts the original source material in a way that creates tension between representation and reality.

  • 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.
