Meaning & Analysis

Sex Parts is not Warhol’s first exploration of the nude form. Warhol produced various nudes early on in his artistic career before he became recognised as a fine artist. These artworks, however, were never exhibited in public, in part due to homosexuality being a criminal offence at the time, but also due to the fact that Warhol recognised how conservative the art world was.

Warhol referred to his exploration of the nude form as ‘landscapes’. It is possible that he referred to these artworks using such coded language due to the stigma that surrounded same-sex relationships. The Sex Parts collection is important as it reveals some of Warhol’s deeply felt desires that the artist had to hide throughout his lifetime.

  • 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.
