{"product_id":"elvis-i-ii-andy-warhol","title":"Elvis I \u0026 II - Andy Warhol","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Pop Art composition by Andy Warhol, featuring the iconic musician Elvis Presley in a repetitive, silkscreened format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy Warhol produced this work during a period of intense fascination with celebrity culture and the mechanics of mass media. The image derives from a publicity still for the 1960 film Flaming Star, in which Elvis Presley appears as a cowboy. Warhol utilised the silkscreen process to replicate the figure, stripping away the original context of the film and transforming the subject into a repetitive icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is divided into two distinct sections. On the left, the figure appears in high-contrast colour, with a saturated red shirt set against a flat blue background. On the right, the image shifts to a monochromatic, ghostly iteration. This variation in tone reflects the artist's interest in the degradation of images through mechanical reproduction. The rough, uneven application of ink and the visible texture of the linen surface are characteristic of Warhol's studio practice during the early 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy isolating the figure and repeating it, Warhol draws attention to the artificial nature of fame. The subject is presented not as a person, but as a commodity. The work functions as a critique of the public appetite for celebrity imagery, while simultaneously participating in the creation of that imagery. The stark contrast between the coloured and monochrome panels forces the viewer to consider the image as both a physical object and a cultural signifier. This piece remains a primary example of the artist's method of using commercial techniques to create fine art, effectively blurring the boundaries between high culture and popular media.\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=\"\/sv\/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=\"\/sv\/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 \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833583046991,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833767727439,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833767760207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833767792975,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58833767825743,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Elvis-I-II_Poster_CompositorV1_1789931692691.jpg?v=1789932852","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/elvis-i-ii-andy-warhol","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
