This is a canvas tote bag that I own stylized to represent one of Andy Warhol's paintings called Flowers.
Andy Warhol was one of the greatest artists in american history whose work was released throughout the 60's,70's, and 80's. He started the pop art movement which was visual art inspired by celebrity culture and advertisement that was popular in the 1960's. He worked in many different mediums including paint,film, silk screening, and photography.
The bag is made out of canvas and the front is the silk screened print. To the side is Andy Warhol's signature. Along the straps written is the name of the piece, the year it was created, and where it was created. The whole purpose of this bag is the same as any other tote bag- to carry your belongings in. What is special about this bag however is that it represents a piece of iconic artwork/ Any other bag would be decorated some way or another to seem attractive, however this bag is decorated to draw attention and to pay respects to one of the most influential artists of our time.
