Description
-
This painting is demonstrative of Warhol's bright colors style when creating art. He produced the Flower painting in different sizes from miniature to monumental, making them all for a gallery exhibit in which they were arranged to fully cover the walls. He did have a source for the painting, which was Patricia Caulfield's color photograph of hibiscus flowers that appeared in a magazine. Although the painting is simple and bright presenting the flowers in a straight-forward manner, there was some controversy around this piece. Caulfield, the original photographer sued to maintain ownership of the image. This marked an important point in Warhol's career, and presented the ongoing argument about an artist's ability to appropriate from existing sources.
