This print was made as an advertisement for “La Grande Passion,” a passion fruit flavored brandy from France. Warhol depicts the liqueur bottle in the forefront, with a vibrant passion fruit flower in the background, drawn in multiple colors that were said to be inspired by pencils that had varicolored led.

This screenprint is part of Andy Warhol’s Advertisement Series that he created in the 1980s. This image in particular was created for Carillon Importers, Ltd. The composition is dominated by the bottle of La Grande Passion, whose shadow is exaggerated, emphasizing the bottle’s presence. With its hurried, continuous lines, here is a sketch-like quality to the print, giving the advertisement a more artistically modern spin. The image is based on a photograph taken by Warhol. The original shipping tube from Carillon Importers, Ltd. is available with the poster. The poster may be shipped framed as seen or in or with the tube. The piece as shown is framed behind a sheet of clear acrylic. See less
