Cow 1981

Andy Warhol's 1981 silkscreen print, "Cow," is a striking example of the artist's Pop Art style. The bold, graphic image of a cow's head, rendered in flat, saturated colors, stands against a solid blue background. Warhol's use of repetition and bold colors in this work highlights his interest in mass media and consumer culture, questioning the nature of celebrity and the everyday objects that become icons. The image's simplicity and its focus on a mundane subject, like a cow, further exemplify Pop Art's challenge to traditional fine art conventions.
