Mickey Mouse 1981

Andy Warhol's 1981 silkscreen print "Mickey Mouse" exemplifies the Pop Art movement. Warhol, known for his iconic depictions of consumer culture, elevates this beloved cartoon character to an art object. The bold colors and simple lines, characteristic of his style, emphasize the simplicity and familiarity of the Mickey Mouse image. This work, like much of Warhol's oeuvre, comments on the ubiquitous nature of popular culture and the power of branding in contemporary society.
