Artists in conversation
Takashi Murakami
Japanese · b. 1962
Murakami similarly merges traditional Japanese floral motifs with bold flat colors and commercial printing techniques, creating work that bridges Pop Art sensibilities with Japanese cultural iconography in a way that directly echoes Warhol's Kiku series.
Roy Lichtenstein
American · b. 1923
Lichtenstein shares Warhol's commitment to transforming everyday and cultural imagery through bold graphic screenprint techniques and flat commercial color palettes, and his floral works from the 1970s and 1980s demonstrate a strikingly similar approach to stylizing botanical subjects.
Utagawa Hiroshige
Japanese · b. 1797
Hiroshige's woodblock prints of chrysanthemums and other Japanese botanical subjects share the same source imagery and cultural symbolism that Warhol drew upon for Kiku, making his floral compositions a direct visual ancestor to this specific screenprint.
