Santa Claus 1981

Andy Warhol's "Santa Claus" (1981) is a vibrant and iconic portrayal of the Christmas figure. The artwork is created in Warhol's signature silkscreen style, using bold colours and graphic lines to capture a simplified yet instantly recognizable image of Santa Claus. The use of bright green and orange against a stark white background creates a striking contrast, reflecting the playful and commercialized nature of Christmas during the late 20th century. Warhol's exploration of pop culture icons and the repetition of imagery in his art challenged traditional notions of high art, making his work accessible to a wide audience.
