The 'Flowers (Hand-Colored)' series closely followed the earlier series 'Flowers (Black and White)' with one significant difference, the exquisite hand-colouring Warhol applied to these screenprints making each unique. Made in 1974, this series is a sudden diversion away from his typical artistic style of the time since the artist's hand is very much felt with the addition of this hand-colouring – Warhol usually delighted in removing all trace of his presence from his work.
Through this series we are reminded of what a talented draftsman Warhol was whilst first working as a commercial artist in the 1950s. The freehand lines Warhol uses to capture these still-life flowers and the bursts of vibrant colour are also reminiscent of his earlier offset lithographs from the 1950s like 'A La Recherche Du Shoe Perdu' and 'Wild Raspberries’.
