This rare lithograph by andy Warhol from 1954 of an array of winged and spotted beasties from 'Happy Bug Day' showcases his virtuosity as an illustrator, as much as it reveals his lifelong love of the natural world. Before becoming an internationally famous artist and cultural icon, Andy Warhol was a highly successful commercial illustrator for a variety of clients including Columbia Records, Glamour Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, NBC, Tiffany & Co., and Vogue among others.
He became well known for his 'blotted line' technique which gave each drawing a distinctive touch. In the 1950's Warhol translated his unque blotted line techinique into a lithographic process. Already showcasing his interest in graphic reproduction, Warhol used this techinque to make books, invitations amd personal projects to be given as gifts to friends and clients.
