Meaning & Analysis

Grapes (F. & S. II.190) is part of the Grapes series. This series, produced late in Warhol’s career, is composed of six prints, each depicting a different variety of grape in a unique composition. The Grapes series captures Warhol’s appropriation of the still life genre. Warhol takes a traditional still life subject- fruit – and subverts expectations by depicting the grapes in unconventional colours and with a fragmented style. This is seen in Warhol’s other series from the 1970s such as Gems and Diamond Dust Shoes.

Using geometric blocks of bright colour, Warhol emphasises the two-dimensionality of the print, countering the realist conventions of the still life genre. Grapes (F. & S. II.190) also captures Warhol’s increased incorporation of hand-drawn lines into his compositions. Black gestural lines and shading delineate the shapes of the grapes and leaves. Warhol’s creative use of vibrant colour gives the print a college-like aesthetic, reflecting his love for colour and experimentation.

  • 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.
