Beschreibung
A striking screenprint by Andy Warhol featuring his pet dachshund, Maurice, rendered in bold, non-naturalistic colours.
This screenprint depicts Maurice, the dachshund belonging to Andy Warhol. Warhol maintained a long-standing affection for the breed, often bringing his dogs to the studio and incorporating them into his artistic practice. The work utilises the characteristic screenprinting technique that defined much of Warhol's output during the 1970s. By applying layers of high-contrast colour, the artist transforms a simple photographic source into a graphic composition.
The image relies on a flattened perspective, typical of the Pop Art movement. The subject is centred, with the dog's features rendered through bold colour blocks rather than traditional shading. The palette consists of synthetic, non-naturalistic tones, including electric blues and bright pinks, which create a sense of visual tension against the background. The outlines are simplified, focusing on the silhouette and the recognisable shape of the dachshund's ears and snout.
Warhol's approach to portraiture often involved the removal of the artist's hand, favouring mechanical reproduction methods. This print reflects his interest in the serial nature of imagery, where the subject becomes an icon through repetition and colour variation. The work captures the playful yet detached quality present in many of his animal studies. It remains a clear example of his ability to elevate everyday subjects into the realm of fine art through deliberate stylistic choices. The composition is balanced, allowing the subject to occupy the frame fully without the distraction of environmental detail. This print provides a direct look into the personal life of the artist, while maintaining the aesthetic distance that characterises his broader body of work.

Artist Biography
Andy Warhol
Warhol grew up in Pittsburgh, the son of Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants from what is now Slovakia. His father was a construction worker. His mother, Julia, made tin flowers and sold them door to door. She also drew. When Andy was ill as a child (he had chorea, a nervous system disorder that kept him bedridden for stretches), she sat with him making paper cutouts and teaching him to draw. She later moved to New York to live with him and addressed envelopes for his early commercial work. Her handwriting appeared on his artwork. She was good at cats.
He moved to New York after graduating from Carnegie Tech in 1949 and spent the 1950s as a commercial illustrator. He was successful at it: shoe drawings for I. Miller, album covers, magazine illustrations. The work was loose, charming, and camp. He won awards. But commercial art was not taken seriously, and Warhol wanted to be taken seriously.
The Campbell's Soup Cans came in 1962. Thirty-two canvases, one for each flavour. Then Marilyn, then Elvis, then the car crashes and electric chairs. The technique was silk-screen printing: photographic images transferred to canvas through a mesh screen and printed in flat, commercial colours. The process removed the artist's hand almost entirely, which was the point. Warhol made art that looked like it had been manufactured, in a culture that manufactured everything.
The Factory, his silver-foiled studio on East 47th Street, became the centre of a scene that included musicians, actors, drag queens, socialites, and addicts, sometimes all at once. He made films. He started Interview magazine. He managed the Velvet Underground. He was shot by Valerie Solanas in 1968 and nearly died; he wore a surgical corset for the rest of his life.
His late work, often dismissed, includes the Oxidation Paintings (made with urine on metallic paint), the Shadow series, and the Last Supper paintings. He died in 1987 after gallbladder surgery, at fifty-eight. His estate was valued at around 600 million dollars.
