KAWS Brian Donnelly Snoopy Untitled Brooklyn Museum Silkscreen Print 2020
This 2020 limited edition silkscreen print by Brian Donnelly, known professionally as KAWS, showcases his signature blend of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork with an unmistakable nod to pop culture iconography. Measuring 8 x 10.5 inches, the piece presents the silhouette of Snoopy from Charles Schulz’s Peanuts, reimagined through bold geometric color blocking in magenta, red-orange, turquoise, and deep blue tones. The clean, flat planes of color, combined with the instantly recognizable contour of the character, strip away illustrative detail to focus on pure form and palette, a hallmark of KAWS’ approach to character abstraction.
Bold Color Blocking and Minimalist Form
The artwork features a reduced yet powerful visual vocabulary, replacing detail with striking planes of saturated color. KAWS distills Snoopy’s form into abstract segments, creating a balance between recognition and transformation. The use of silkscreen printing allows for intense pigmentation and crisp separation between hues, emphasizing the graphic quality that defines much of the artist’s work. This method highlights his skill in transforming mass culture icons into refined, contemporary compositions.
Limited Edition Museum Release
Hand-pulled on fine art paper, this silkscreen print was produced in an edition of only 25, each signed and numbered by the artist. Created exclusively for the Brooklyn Museum, the print’s rarity enhances its appeal among collectors of both contemporary fine art and pop culture memorabilia. The small edition size ensures exclusivity, while the museum connection underlines its place within a respected institutional context, bridging high art prestige with accessible subject matter.
KAWS’ Artistic Evolution and Cultural Impact
Born in 1974 in Jersey City, New Jersey, Brian Donnelly began his career as a graffiti artist in the streets of New York before transitioning into the gallery and museum circuit. His works merge commercial aesthetics, animated characters, and fine art precision, making him one of the most recognized figures in contemporary visual culture. This Snoopy silkscreen reflects KAWS’ ongoing exploration of identity, nostalgia, and consumer culture, transforming beloved animated figures into standalone works that resonate across generations while maintaining the visual language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
