Meaning & Analysis

Blackglama (Judy Garland) (F. & S. II351) is part of the Ads series, capturing the mockery and effectiveness of advertising. Here, Warhol reminds us that Garland, like a candy or fizzy drink, has built her career on name recognition. She is a commodity herself. An icon of the 20th century, the name Andy Warhol is synonymous with the intersections of mass consumerism and fame, a theme that runs through the Ads series and is evidently displayed in this print.

The artist places Garland to the right of centre in a relaxed, three-quarter profile view. Her skin is awash with white as if glowing in the lights of a movie set. The electric blue, pink and yellow hues against the deep black background elevate her from the surface of the print. Warhol transforms an icon of American consumer culture in cinema and ultimately points out the irony of fame and consumerism, a theme that the artist focused on in other prints of the Ads portfolio, such as the Rebel Without A Cause (James Dean) (F. & S. II.355) screen print. Garland is represented not as the well-known doe-eyed teenager that America fell in love with in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939), but as an older, soulful woman whose short lifetime in the stark movie set lights has rendered her a legend of American pop culture long after her death.

  • 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.
