The Season To Be Poppy

Warhol’s Christmas Illustrations

Though Andy Warhol will be famed forever (not a mere 15 minutes) for his role as the grand provocateur of 60s New York, the founder of pop art and the man who made that portrait of Marilyn Monroe, he began his artistic career as a commercial illustrator. He may have gone on to redraw the boundaries of modern art, but his early commissioned work is packed full of the same charm and flair as the later iconic pieces. With this in mind, NOWNESS presents a selection of his best festive designs. Seasons Greetings!
