Meaning & Analysis

Completed just two years after her tragic death from a car accident, this portrait sits in within the Warholian tradition of depicting quintessential American celebrity icons posthumously. Kelly is memorialised as an icon of popular culture by Warhol through his renowned screen printing technique. Warhol’s use of vivid colours and simplified form replicates the kitsch aesthetic of mass consumer products and works to emphasise the thin veneer of Kelly’s beauty and fame.

Comparable to his portraits from the 1960s such as Marilyn (1967) and Liz (1964) that exemplify Warhol’s infatuation with the concept of stardom and celebrity culture, this later print makes a departure in graphic style. With his use of luminous colour, the blue backdrop and bright yellow hair, and multicoloured lines that contour Kelly’s portrait, Warhol creates a glossy surface to the print, mimicking the visual language of 1980s magazines.

  • 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.
