Medium: SCREENPRINT ON MYLAR
"Rebel Without a Cause (James Dean)" by Andy Warhol is an original screenprint created in 1985. This artwork measures 40 x 40 inches and is executed on clear mylar. It was part of Warhol's Ads Portfolio, a series where Warhol explored iconic figures and brands in American advertising and pop culture.
Produced by Rupert Jasen Smith, a renowned collaborator of Warhol known for his expertise in screenprinting, "Rebel Without a Cause (James Dean)" captures Warhol's fascination with celebrity and the allure of Hollywood icons. James Dean, a cultural symbol of teenage rebellion and angst, became immortalized through Warhol's stylized portrayal.
The use of clear mylar in this screenprint adds a unique visual dimension, allowing light to pass through the artwork and enhancing its luminosity and transparency. Warhol's technique and choice of medium reflect his innovative approach to screenprinting and his ability to transform mass-produced images into works of art.
As with all of Warhol's works, "Rebel Without a Cause (James Dean)" bears the artist's distinctive style, characterized by bold colors, repetition, and a sense of detachment that invites viewers to reconsider familiar images in a new context.
Owning a piece from Warhol's Ads Portfolio not only connects collectors to Warhol's exploration of fame and consumer culture but also underscores his enduring impact on contemporary art and society. This screenprint is a testament to Warhol's ability to elevate the mundane to the iconic, making it a valuable addition to any art collection.
