Meaning and Symbolism of Warhol’s Flowers - Flowers marked a striking contrast with the darker subjects Warhol explored during the early 1960s, including death, disaster, crime, and images surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Their brilliant colors initially appear cheerful and decorative, yet flowers can also suggest fragility, mortality, and remembrance. This tension between beauty and darkness is central to the series. Warhol took a natural subject and flattened it into a repeated, mass-produced image, making the flowers simultaneously familiar, artificial, joyful, and unsettling. (Masterworks Fine Art)
