{"product_id":"julia-warhola-andy-warhol","title":"Julia Warhola - Andy Warhol","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking 1974 screenprint portrait of the artist's mother, Julia Warhola, rendered in bold, high-contrast colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait depicts Julia Warhola, the mother of the artist, rendered in the distinctive screenprint style that defined Warhol's career. Created in 1974, the work utilises a high-contrast palette, typical of the artist's interest in mechanical reproduction and the transformation of personal subjects into iconic imagery. The composition focuses on the facial features of the subject, with the glasses and soft contours of the face captured through simplified planes of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarhol often turned his attention to those within his immediate circle, yet he applied the same detached, aestheticised treatment to these figures as he did to celebrities or consumer goods. By using the screenprinting process, the artist removed the evidence of the painterly hand, favouring a flat, graphic quality that flattens the depth of the original photographic source. The choice of deep purples and warm, saturated oranges creates a tension between the intimate nature of the subject and the artificiality of the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print reflects the artist's broader practice of examining the relationship between identity and image. While the subject is his mother, the work functions as a study in colour theory and graphic design. The lines are not drawn in the traditional sense: they are the result of the photographic silkscreen process, which translates light and shadow into distinct zones of ink. This approach strips away the narrative context of the portrait, leaving the viewer to engage with the visual impact of the colour fields and the stark reduction of form. It is a clear example of how the artist manipulated the mechanics of printmaking to alter the perception of familiar faces, turning the personal into a public, reproducible object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/les-demoiselles-davignon-vues-de-derriere-patrick-caulfield\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLes Demoiselles d'Avignon vues de derrière - Patrick Caulfield — Patrick Caulfield\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mushroom-dreamscape-yayoi-kusama\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMushroom Dreamscape - Yayoi Kusama — Yayoi Kusama\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andy Warhol","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58830081687887,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58830086799695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58830086832463,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Julia-Warhola_Poster_CompositorV1_1789904890255.jpg?v=1789905059","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/julia-warhola-andy-warhol","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
