Silkscreen print on 100% Coventry Rag paper with Diamond Dust // King Kong by Burton Morris is a bold and graphic silkscreen print that captures the iconic image of the giant ape gripping the Empire State Building. The composition uses a vibrant color palette with a striking contrast of purple, yellow, and blue, giving the scene a dynamic pop art feel. The cartoonish rendering of King Kong, with exaggerated features and a wide grin, adds a playful twist to the classic cinematic moment. Morris’s use of clean lines and flat colors, along with the textured effect of diamond dust on Coventry Rag paper, creates an eye-catching, modern interpretation of a cultural legend.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
