Created in 1983, this painting is part of the artist’s later body of work that witnessed a resurgence of his energetic and colorful canvases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing as a more child-oriented expression of Warhol’s acclaimed advertising motifs of Brillo and Mott’s boxes from the 1960s, his Toy Paintings series embodies the same consumerist spirit. His ecstatically painted silkscreen canvases consist of popular children’s toys that are now collector’s items. Rollover Mouse was modeled after a Japanese wind-up toy mouse, contained in a simple rectangular cardboard box displaying playful pictures of the toy in action. Appropriating this model, Warhol flattens the imagery, simplifies and brightens the colors and removes the brand name. The radiant red pigment paired with simple yet artful graphics and animated characteristics jump off the canvas, captivating the viewers’ attention. Additionally, the cropped and diagonal orientation of the print manifests an energy and dynamism that defines Warhol’s Pop-Art style and brings the mouse to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an unused item has been stored flat in unopened stack of poster which were never used for the promotion of the exhibition, so are in amazing condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndy Warhol was an American artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206213935491,"sku":"LORS8","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.2955617468_46nc.jpg?v=1768965513","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1990-andy-warhol-poster-toy-series-1983-14984","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
