Andy Warhol illustration

Andy Warhol is a American illustrator and his full name is Andrew Warhola. He is not only illustrator; he is also painter, printmaker and filmmaker. Andy Warhol has been the subject of the most retrospective exhibitions, books and documentary films and he is usually known for his silkscreen painting which is a way of painting using stencils. One of the most famous pop art works were the screen-printing of Marilyn Monroe.


Andy Warhol’s work is light and elegant as there isn’t much detail but has the classic look of woman and has a simple way to show the main subject of this work.
The dress gives a defined shape of her figure as the colours red and orange gives a bold impression. The background doesn’t have a big impact as it is focused on the woman. The woman seemed look posh and gives the impression that she might be a rich person. The dog is not the main interest as the dog looks like it’s there to support the woman. I like the simplicity of the work and the uniqueness this work creates.
