25 Cats Name[d] Sam and One Blue Pussy, Cover

This early work predates Warhol's famous Pop Art period, showcasing his commercial illustration background through whimsical hand-drawn cats rendered in delicate watercolor washes over offset lithography. The piece demonstrates Warhol's emerging interest in serial imagery and repetition that would later define his artistic practice, while revealing his more intimate, handmade approach before embracing mechanical reproduction.
