Meaning & Analysis

Grapes (F. & S. II.195) is one of six prints that compose the Grapes series. Each print in the series depicts a different grape variety and has a unique colour composition and layout. This series marks Warhol’s artistic turn towards the still life genre, as seen in other series such as Flowers and Gems. However, as opposed to depicting the fruits in the most realistic style possible, as is expected of the genre, Warhol subverts artistic convention by privileging his Pop Art aesthetic, abstracting the image through unexpected colours and arrangements.

The print was made using blocks of colour that are superimposed onto the grapes in the background. Hand-drawn lines and shading are used to delineate the shapes of the grapes and leaves. The contrast between the blocks of colour and gestural lines give the print a collage aesthetic in which the colours appear to be pasted on top of each other. Grapes (F. & S. II.195) exemplifies Warhol’s ingenious use of colour and love for creative 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.
