Meaning & Analysis

War Bonnet Indian (F. & S. II.373) is one of ten graphic screen prints that compose the Cowboys And Indians series. In this series, Warhol takes archetypal figures and objects that capture America’s romanticised vision of the American West. The distortion of the images through Warhol's playful use of colour reflects the distorted and contrived portrayal of the American West propagated through its depictions in popular culture, such as literature, film and television. Warhol's choice to depict a stereotypical image of a traditional Native American figure in his Pop Art style creates an ironic political commentary regarding the misconstrued impressions of the American West.

The print was made using Warhol's signature screen printing method which was developed to mass-produce imagery to be widely distributed. The technique therefore mirrors the way in which history has been distorted and propagated through popular culture.

  • 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.
