Meaning & Analysis
Flowers (F. & S. II.117) is a signed print by Andy Warhol, made in 1974 in an edition of 250. Screenprinted in black and coloured by hand with watercolour, it shows a single pale bloom on a dark vase, encircled by a long pink stem that loops back on itself across the sheet. It belongs to the Flowers (hand-coloured) series.
At the centre right of Flowers (F. & S. II.117), a narrow vase shaded in dense black strokes holds a single cream bloom with a ragged outline. A long stem, washed in soft pink and drawn in sweeping parallel lines, rises from behind the flower, loops high across the upper left of the sheet and curves back down around the vase before trailing off to the left. Quick zigzag strokes along the base mark the table top. Warhol’s signature sits at the lower right. Most of the sheet is left white, so the pink loop carries the composition.
The Flowers (hand-coloured) series pairs a set of ten images with a black and white version. To make them, Warhol traced floral pictures from wallpaper samples and a flower-arranging book using a projector, then kept the drawn line rather than his usual photographic method. Because the watercolour was added by hand, colour varies between impressions. In some, the bloom in this image is washed pink, while here it is left a pale cream.
