Description : Andy Warhol's "Howdy Doody," from the 1981 Myths series, is a color screenprint depicting a young boy with a comically exaggerated face in vivid colors. This series, composed of ten iconic figures representing 20th-century pop culture, aims to reveal different facets of Warhol's personality. "Howdy Doody" refers to a children's program that aired from 1947 to 1960.

The boy's distinctive features, with an exaggerated mouth, nose, and cheeks, contribute to the show's recognizable commercial icons. Set against a dark gray background, the primary colors of his bandana, plaid shirt, and gloves stand out. His comical gaze and raised arm reference his role as a puppet on The Howdy Doody, where he achieved iconic fame.

To enhance the three-dimensional effect, the work incorporates diamond dust into the screenprint. Created in 1981, this hand-signed color screenprint on Lenox Museum Board is numbered from an edition of 200 and published by Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, Inc., in New York. Printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, in New York, it is part of the Andy Warhol Myths portfolio, comprising 10 works, each illustrated and referenced in the catalogue raisonné.
