Online caption
Warhol’s voyeuristic interest in the male body can be seen throughout his oeuvre - including films such as ‘Sleep’ of 1963 and his stitched photographs from 1986. This drawing of a young man is an example of Warhol’s blotted-line technique which he used extensively at this time in his career as a commercial illustrator. However, this drawing is almost certainly not a commission and instead shows his personal interest in depicting young men. ‘Young Man with Heart’ retains the whimsical quality of his commercial work with the figure in profile looking heavenwards, perhaps dreaming, a small love heart balancing on his finger.
