“Do It Yourself (Flowers)” is an oil painting created by Andy Warhol in 1962, belonging to the Pop Art movement. The artwork, produced in the United States, falls within the genre of flower paintings.
The artwork features a vibrant assemblage of various flowers rendered in a paint-by-numbers style. Bright yellows, greens, purples, and pinks dominate the composition, indicative of Warhol’s signature style of bold hues and playful subject matter. Each flower and leaf is numbered, corresponding to specific instructions for color placement. This creates an intriguing juxtaposition between the ordered, systematic format and the organic forms of the flowers, highlighting Warhol’s exploration of consumer culture and the intersection of art and commercialism.
