Meaning & Analysis

Diamond Dust Shoes (F. & S. II. 253) is part of the Diamond Dust Shoes series. In this series Warhol returns to a familiar subject- women’s shoes. Warhol started his artistic career as a freelance commercial illustrator and was well known for his illustrations of shoes that were featured in fashion magazines such as Glamour, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. This series was produced late in Warhol’s career at a time in which he was revisiting and reimagining old subject matter such as the Campbell’s Soup Cans and Electric Chairs.

While Warhol returns to familiar territory, this series demonstrates Warhol’s critical re-examination of his past work. Indeed, Warhol updates his depiction of women’s shoes, transforming his illustrations that favoured the blotted line technique, using a new method- the incorporation of diamond dust. This method, borrowed from Rupert Jasen Smith who Warhol named as a ‘master printmaker’, involved using diamond dust particles to enrich the surface of the prints. This was a novel approach to printmaking for Warhol and the Diamond Dust series is the first body of work in which Warhol used this kind of material in his screen printing process. The use of such a luxurious material carries with it connotations of glamour and excess, transforming the everyday commodity into a high-value symbol of celebrity and extravagance.

  • 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.
