• Pop Art Style

Pop Art

• During the early 1960s a group of artists burst
  on the scene with subject matter such as Coke
  bottles, soup cans, and comic strip characters.
  Because these items were so common or popular,
  their movement was called POP ART.

POP ART

• This new movement was just that---a movement. It
  was not a style because each artist employed a
  different way of working with both the media
  available and the subject matter.
• Pop Art expressed an impersonal attitude toward
  the work and subject matter because of the
  artists frustration with the art establishment.
• Pop Art incorporates a delightful sense of humor
  and satire.

Andy Warhol(1928-1987)

• Andy Warhol and Pop Art go hand in hand because
  he zeros in on American mass production and its
  boring repetitions.
• He used a mechanical silkscreen process to apply
  paint to canvas and had other people do the work!
  This is how impersonal he became with the work.
• Andy Warhol is best known for his Campbell Soup
  can images, and images of famous personalities.

Roy Lichtenstein(1923-)

• Lichtenstein became on of the stars of Pop Art
  and like other Pop Artists he wanted to play on
  the slick, multiple images of commercial art with
  its mechanical techniques and glossy colors.
• He is best known for his large cartoon-like
  paintings and even simulates the ben-day printing
  dots used to color Sunday comics.
• Often he pokes gentle fun at the melodrama of the
  comics and the national fascination with them.
• Some of them even have verbal messages in them.
