The artwork entitled “Work Boots,” created by artist Andy Warhol in 1986, belongs to the Pop Art movement and is categorized as figurative art.
The artwork depicts two pairs of shoes, each rendered in a monochromatic and minimalist style. The left side presents a rugged work boot, outlined in white against a black background, delineating its robust contours with simple, sharp lines. Adjacent to it are various typographical elements, numbers, and symbols, contributing to the composition’s dynamic structure. The right side portrays an oxford shoe, similarly outlined and accompanied by textual annotations, numerals, and prices, suggesting a commercial advertisement influence. The overall piece reflects Warhol’s characteristic approach of blending commercial and fine art elements, embodying themes prevalent in Pop Art.
