     "Warhol masterfully captures Graham's unparalleled ability to convey deep emotion through physical movement."

    Satyric Festival Song is a print created by Andy Warhol in 1986, as part of his Martha Graham portfolio. Although it may seem to be an unlikely friendship, the two artists had a profound respect and admiration for each other's work. Warhol created this portfolio to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the Martha Graham Dance Centre of Contemporary Dance in New York. Warhol wanted to pay tribute to the ‘Picasso of dance’. 

    Warhol appropriated a photo taken by American photographer Barbara Morgan taken in the 1940s of Graham moving dynamically, flinging her hair into the air as she moves her arm upwards with the other placed firmly on her hip. Warhol repeats Graham twice within this print, emphasising the dynamism of her movement. Furthermore, Warhol utilises bright purple and blue colours which stand out against a completely black background, as if Graham was on centre stage. Warhol outlines Graham in vibrant hues, further suggesting movement and vivacity. 

    In this screenprint, Warhol masterfully captures Graham's unparalleled ability to convey deep emotion through physical movement, aligning with Graham’s statement that "dance is the language of the soul.”
