Meaning & Analysis

Representing a highlight and culmination of Warhol’s body of work, Gertrude Stein (F. & S. II.227) displays a subtlety and sophistication in the artist’s technical advancement of the screen printing method. Warhol uses colour-fields of layered geometric shapes to form the backdrop to this print, setting this against the faintly rendered photographic image and deliberately misaligned crayon-like outlines of Stein’s portrait.

Abstracting Stein’s familiar archival photograph, Warhol generates new depths of meaning to Stein’s portrait by using vivid, flattened colours, alluding to the notion of abstraction and turning the sitter into a Pop Art icon. Gertrude Stein (F. & S. 227) explores the paradoxes of surface and image, abstraction and naturalism, that are held in an aesthetically pleasing dialogue through Warhol’s unrivalled screen printing technique.

  • 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.
