These have been rarely seen. Those who are familiar with the illustration work of 20th century pop artist Andy Warhol are aware of his flowers, shoes and cats. But rabbits? Other than his Chocolate bunny print, very few know there are Andy Warhol rabbit sketches for Easter.
Andy Warhol Rabbit Sketches
This fashion editorial and cover of the April Easter 1955 issue of Glamour Magazine featured Warhol’s rarely seen rabbit drawings. Photographed by Frances McLaughlin-Gill, the editorial features model Mary Jane Russell donning the fashions of the day. In each image Warhol’s rabbit sketches serve as the backdrop.
Now you can say you are familiar with Warhol’s Rabbit sketches.
And since Easter is near, let’s not forget his Chocolate Bunny and Eggs silkscreens.
