Dufart, 1799-1808 ; Original source Image description: Historical illustration depicting three distinct spider species: a large, hairy tarantula at the bottom labeled “Mygale Aviculaire” with detailed leg segments and claws; a smaller spider in the middle labeled “Araignée Tigree” featuring a striped body and spider-like legs; and a robust spider at the top labeled “Araignée Tarentule” with a patterned, rounded abdomen and jointed legs. The drawing emphasizes anatomical features such as leg hairs, body patterns, and clawed appendages, rendered in detailed black ink on an aged beige background, typical of natural history plates from late 18th to early 19th century Paris publications.

In 1982 Warhol was commissioned by the German film director Rainer Fassbinder to design a poster for his adaptation of Jean Genet’s classic novel, ‘Querelle’. The story of a sailor’s journey into the sexual underworld of a French port appealed to Warhol’s cinematic sensibilities and could easily have been one of his own productions (he had started making films in the 1960s). This design is based on a photograph by Warhol of two young men with bare shoulders. It is characteristic of his work in the 1980s, incorporating elements of both hand-drawn and photographic screen printing. In reversing the figure in the bottom right, the viewer’s eye is encouraged to follow the images round, with attention being drawn to the tongue by splashing it with a vibrant red.
