Pop Art was born in the mid-1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. However, it became very popular in the 1960s in New York City with artists such as Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein. Inspired by the everyday, Pop Art was meant to be more relevant, more accessible to the general public \u2013 often including iconic imagery from popular culture that was well known to the general population \u2013 hence the name, Pop Art.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Pop Art movement was in a way a reaction to the Abstract Expressionist movement \u2013 a movement sometimes seen as serious. Pop Art was in some ways the antithesis of Abstract Expressionism \u2013 it was literal and meant to be fun, appealing to all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPop Art looks out into the world. It doesn\u2019t look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.\u201d \u2013 Roy Lichtenstein<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consumerism and Art<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pop Art in some ways became a commentary on American consumerism, something that had seen a dramatic shift in the years following World War II. It is a reflection of the climate of increased consumerism that was emerging at the time. Artworks often depicted images of easily recognizable objects or people. Consumer goods were often depicted in Pop Art \u2013 think Warhol\u2019s iconic Campbell\u2019s Soup. Television, cartoons, comic books, celebrities and other icons were also popular depictions. Using people and objects that were recognizable by most helped to make Pop Art a more accessible art movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you \u201cgot\u201d Pop, you could never see a sign the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.\u201d \u2013 Andy Warhol<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pop Art Technique\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Artworks often use repetition of an image in varied colours. Colors are often bright, primary colors \u2013 straight out of the tube or can of paint with little to no mixing. You can also expect to see high contrasting colors in pop art. Compositions are typically very simple and visually appealing, simplifying objects and people.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This style of art challenges traditional mediums and techniques. It includes a unique mix of approaches, combining painting, photography and printmaking. Sometimes, Pop Artists would use commercial advertising methods like silkscreening.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPop Art is for everyone.\u201d \u2013 Andy Warhol<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Colourful<\/p>\n

Metallaro #1<\/span><\/a> by Irene Raspollini<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHair metal is one of the most popular genres of the 80s: crazy outfits, colored hair, spikes and leather everywhere, with androgynous frontmen like Dee Schnider, Bret Michaels and Sebastian Bach, brought on stage a lot of noise and creativity. Face painting and teased hairstyle were very common: this Metallaro (metalhead in Italian) was clearly inspired by those bands.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"Floating<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Bunch of Wonder <\/span><\/a>by Brian Nash<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’m a child of New England in the 60’s. I grew up in Boston, and spent my summers at my grandfather’s house on Cape Cod and on my dad’s boat on Nantucket. I have such fond memories of that time, and I love the aesthetic and innocence of the 60’s. I tend to paint images from my memory, which give my paintings a somewhat nostalgic feeling, while also being modern.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
