DESCRIPTION
Woody on Orange" is a vibrant, Post-Pop art piece created by the American contemporary artist Ronnie Cutrone in 1985. The artwork is a color screenprint (serigraph) that features the iconic cartoon character Woody Woodpecker superimposed over a bold, brightly colored background. Artwork Specifications Artist: Ronnie Cutrone (19482013), an influential figure who spent a decade as Andy Warhols primary assistant at the Factory. Year of Creation: 1985 Medium: Color screenprint on paper. Dimensions: Approximately 91.44 cm x 72.39 cm (36 inches x 28.5 inches). Visual Description and Style Subject Matter: The piece highlights Woody Woodpecker, one of Cutrones signature appropriated cartoon entities alongside characters like Felix the Cat and the Pink Panther. Color Palette: True to Cutrone's style, the print utilizes high-contrast, lively, and fluorescent colors. The character is juxtaposed against a dominant, intensely saturated orange background backdrop. Artistic Meaning: On the surface, the piece is energetic and highly accessible. Subtextually, Cutrone used these unstoppable cartoon animals to represent a "free spirit" sidestepping social constraints and institutional grids, subverting low-brow pop culture into fine art.
