Meaning & Analysis

Alexander the Great has been recognised as one of the greatest military celebrities for centuries, and Warhol’s image makes homage to the figures’ lasting fame. Unlike many of Warhol’s other prints, the artist has left the Hellenistic quality of the portrait largely untouched, rendering the image to look three dimensional and emphasising the bronze material of the original bust. Steeped in art history, this portrait engages with themes of antiquity by keeping the original bronze material in mind, whilst working to transport it into the present with his use of vivid colour and graphic line.

Many images of Alexander the Great would have been widely available in American popular culture at the time and Warhol latched onto the fact that the public would have been very aware of this man’s image. Warhol extends beyond modern day celebrity culture, appropriating iconic images from art history to illustrate his fascination with the concept of fame.

  • 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.
