Meaning & Analysis

Sitting Bull (F. & S. II.376) is one of ten graphic screen prints that Warhol produced for his Cowboys And Indians series. In this series, Warhol takes archetypal figures that capture America’s romanticised vision of the American West. The print is based on an archival photo of the Sioux Chief who is renowned as being a hero of the Battle of Little Big Horn against the US. The vivid colouring of Sitting Bull, along with the light highlights that outline his figure give the traditional subject a modern twist. The use of colour here exemplifies how Warhol transforms historic figures into 20th century Pop Art icons.

In this print, Warhol draws attention to the distortion of history through popular culture, making an explicit reference to the way the American West is depicted in literature, film and television. The use of Warhol’s signature screen printing technique, developed as a means of mass-producing imagery to be widely distributed mirrors the way in which fabricated images have been disseminated and become symbolic of the American West.

  • 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.
