This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Art - History of Art, grade: 1,7, University of Essex (Art History), course: Art in the USA, language: English, abstract: The classic period of Pop art can be set from 1956 to 1968, although it was never an organized movement or a single group of artists. Pop art drew on imagery from popular culture, for example advertising or comics and emerged in the urban landscape of London and New York City. It never existed without harsh criticism; in fact it was always despised by the critics, but loved by the popular masses. This essay is going to examine the meaning and purpose of Pop art in light of the critical quotation presented above. The observations made will be clarified on the basis of the works of Andy Warhol (1928-1987) and Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997), two of the main representatives of American Pop art.

In a fascinating story rich with quirky anecdotes and quotes, Carin T. Ford takes a candid look at the Pop Art movement and the many sides of the American legend known as the Prince of Pop.
Download or read book Pop Art written by Marco Livingstone and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 1992 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The emergence of Pop Art in the 1950s laid down a challenge to the earnest evangelists of modern art. Pop was a new democratic art accessible to all in its use of mass-media imagery: newspapers, photographs, billboard advertisements, comic strips and cinema heroes. The works had a new vitality that celebrated the dramas of possession and consumption with willful crudeness and brutality. The protagonists of Pop spoke a universal language, recycling everyday motifs and artifacts as an integral part of their imagery. Developments in both the United States and Britain in the work of such artists as Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Eduardo Paolozzi, Richard Hamilton, Peter Blake and David Hockney, were mirrored in Europe, where an art that was permissive, urban, and contemporary, was pursued with no less urgency Nine authoritative essays, by leading art historians, explore the issues raised by Pop, and discuss and analyse the background to its culture and its exponents. The views of the artists and critics are presented in an extensive anthology, offering an insight into the phenomenon at first hand, while the inclusion of biographies of sixty-two artists and an arresting gallery of 194 colour plates, make Pop Art an important reference work. This book celebrates an art that after three decades still retains its youthful exuberance, humour, glamour and popular appeal and continues to inspire a new generation of artists with its imagery and techniques." --
Download or read book Pop Art written by Tilman Osterwold and published by Taschen. This book was released on 2003 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Everything is beautiful,"" raved Andy Warhol, in raptures at the glamour of modern life, consumer society, the world of the media and its stars. And in so saying, he was expressing the feelings of a generation who felt their age was dawning, an age of ""love"" and ""freedom."" In art, too, a new attitude towards the present was making itself felt. Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann, Richard Hamilton and many other artists were discovering Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Coca Cola, comics, advertising, household appliances and food cans as an independent aesthetic reality. Popularity and triviality were no longer terms of abuse, but were central to a new understanding of an art whose aim was to break down the barriers between art and life. The author gives us a detailed account of the styles, themes and sources of Pop Art, investigating its development in different countries and providing biographies of its leading exponents.
Download or read book Drawing Futures written by Bob Sheil and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing Futures brings together international designers and artists for speculations in contemporary drawing for art and architecture.Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and computational design that provide new grounds for designers, the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for speculation. There is a rich and long history of drawing tied to innovations in technology as well as to revolutions in our philosophical understanding of the world. In reflection of a society now underpinned by computational networks and interfaces allowing hitherto unprecedented views of the world, the changing status of the drawing and its representation as a political act demands a platform for reflection and innovation. Drawing Futures will present a compendium of projects, writings and interviews that critically reassess the act of drawing and where its future may lie.Drawing Futures focuses on the discussion of how the field of drawing may expand synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. The book coincides with an international conference of the same name, taking place at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, in November 2016. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the book discusses how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas.

Download or read book Pop Art written by Princeton University. Art Museum and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Announcing the new Princeton University Art Museum Monograph Series: Princeton University Art Museum Monographs is a new series of in-depth explorations of the museum's rich collections. Beautifully designed and produced, these books by leading and emerging scholars offer new insights and perspectives on a single work or group of works from Princeton's distinguished permanent collection. Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Indiana, and Alex Katz have all come to define the Pop art movement that emerged in America in the 1960s. This handsomely illustrated book focuses on 40 understudied and rarely seen late paintings, works on paper, and sculptures by these influential artists in the collection of the Princeton University Art Museum. Pop Art offers fresh insights into the ways in which artists radically transformed the mediums of painting and sculpture. For example, Lichtenstein is repositioned as a classical studio artist; Wesselmann is shown to be playfully preoccupied with academic genres; and Indiana is interpreted less as a Pop artist than as a folk artist in a mass-cultural context. This important book also features an engaging introduction by Hal Foster that places these new interpretations in the context of the history of Pop art and its critical literature.

Download or read book Lichtenstein in New York written by Mark P. Bernardo and published by Roaring Forties Press. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pop Art — an entirely new and defiantly American style of painting and sculpture — was all the rage among the cultural cognoscenti in the turbulent 1960s, and New York City was the unquestioned epicenter of Pop Art. No artist embodies this groundbreaking movement more than Roy Lichtenstein, the only Pop Artist born in the city and whose life and experiences there inspired much of his most popular and iconic work. This book looks at Lichtenstein's life through the lens of New York City, taking the reader to the Manhattan that Lichtenstein knew, from the Prohibition era through the postwar era and countercultural revolution to the well-heeled iconoclasm of the 80s and 90s. It is a fascinating biography of a major but sometimes neglected trailblazer of 20th-centruy American art.

Download or read book Sturtevant written by Patricia Lee and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated examination of a work—a Warhol that isn't by Warhol—that embodies a shift in attitudes about artistic authorship and originality. Warhol Marilyn (1965) is not a work by Andy Warhol but by the artist Elaine Sturtevant (1930–2014). Throughout her career, Sturtevant (as she preferred to be called) remade and exhibited works by other contemporary artists, among them Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg. For Warhol Marilyn, Sturtevant used one of Warhol's own silkscreens from his series of Marilyn printed multiples. (When asked how he made his silkscreened work, Warhol famously answered, “I don't know. Ask Elaine.”) In this book, Patricia Lee examines Warhol Marilyn as representing a shift in thinking about artistic authorship and originality, highlighting a decisive moment in the rethinking of the contemporary artwork. Lee describes the cognitive dissonance a viewer might feel on learning the identity of Warhol Marilyn's author, and explains that mistaken identity is part of Sturtevant's intention for the operation of the work. She discusses the ways that Sturtevant's methodology went against the grain of a certain interpretation of modernism, and addresses the cultural significance of both Warhol and Monroe as celebrity figures. She considers Dorothy Podber's shooting a bullet through a stack of Warhol's Marilyns (thereafter known as The Shot Marilyns) at the Factory in 1964 and its possible influence on Sturtevant's decision to remake the work. Lee writes that Sturtevant's critical reception has been informed by some fictional forebears: the made-up artist Hank Herron (whose nonexistent work duplicating paintings by Frank Stella was reviewed by a fictional critic), and (suggested by Sturtevant herself) Pierre Menard, the title character of Jorge Luis Borges's “Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote,” who recreates a section of Cervantes's masterpiece line by line. And finally, she explores installation contexts and display strategies for Sturtevant's work as illuminating her broader artistic aims and principles.
Download or read book Pop Art written by Richard Leslie and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pop art accepted, symbolised, and acknowledged the growth of a new "popular culture." though many Pop artists were active first in art events-such as Happenings, the theatre, music, and dance-pop itself soon was recognised as a style that transcended art on the canvas to include everyday life. The emerging mass-media culture-advertising, movies and television, consumer goods-would contribute a language and attitude to the new art as well as provide it with abundant subject matter.
