ndy Warhol was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s.

After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist.

The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives.

It is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist.

Warhol’s art used many types of media, including hand drawing painting, printmaking, photography silk screening, sculpture, film and music. He was also a pioneer

in computer-generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1984 two years before his death.

He founded Interview magazine and was the author of numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He managed and produced The Velvet Underground, a rock band which had a strong influence on the evolution of punk rock music. He is also notable as a gay man who lived openly as such before the gay liberation movement. His studio, The Factory, was a well known gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons.

pop art artists Pop art was an experimental form that several artists were independently adopting; some of these pioneers, such as Roy Lichtenstein, would later become synonymous with the movement. Warhol, who would become famous as the “Pope of Pop”, turned to this new style, where popular subjects could be part of the artist’s palette. His early paintings show images taken from cartoons and advertisements, hand-painted with paint drips. Marilyn Monroe was a pop art painting that Warhol had done and it was very popular. Those drips emulated the style of successful abstract expressionists (such as Willem de Kooning). Warhol’s first pop art paintings were displayed in April 1961, serving as the backdrop for New York Department Store Bronwit Teller’s window display.

To him, part of defining a niche was defining his subject matter. Cartoons were already being used by Lichtenstein, typography by Jasper Johns, and so on; Warhol wanted a distinguishing subject. His friends suggested he should paint the things he loved the most. It was the gallerist Muriel Latow who came up with the ideas for both the soup cans and Warhol’s dollar paintings. On November 23, 1961 Warhol wrote Latow a check for $50 which, according to the 2009 Warhol biography, Pop, The Genius of Warhol, was payment for coming up with the idea of the soup cans as subject matter. For his first major exhibition Warhol painted his famous cans of Campbell’s Soup, which he claimed to have had for lunch for most of his life. The work sold for $10,000 at an auction on November 17, 1971, at Sotheby’s New York

He loved celebrities, so he painted them as well. From these beginnings he developed his later style and subjects. Instead of working on a signature subject matter, as he started out to do, he worked more and more on a signature style, slowly eliminating the handmade from the artistic process. Warhol frequently used silk-screening; his later drawings were traced from slide projections.

At the height of his fame as a painter, Warhol had several assistants who produced his silk-screen multiples, following his directions to make different versions and variations.

On May 9, 2012, his classic painting “Double Elvis (Ferus Type)” sold at auction at Sotheby’s in New York for US$33 million.

With commission, the sale price totaled US$37,042,500, short of the $50 million that Sotheby’s had predicted the painting might bring. The piece (silkscreen ink and spray paint on canvas) shows Elvis Presley in a gunslinger pose. It was first exhibited in 1963 at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. Warhol made 22 versions of the “Double Elvis,” nine of which are held in museums.

In November 2013, his “Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)” diptych sold at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Auction for $105.4 million, a new record for the famed pop artist (pre-auction estimates at $80 million). Created in 1963, this work has only been seen in public once in the past 26 years.[77] In November 2014, “Triple Elvis” sold for $81.9m (£51.9m) at auction in New York.

oy Fox Lichtenstein was an American pop artist. During the 1960s, along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and James Rosenquist among others, he became a leading figure in the new art movement. His work defined the basic premise of pop art through parody. Favoring the comic strip as his main inspiration, Lichtenstein produced hard-edged, precise compositions that documented while it parodied often in a tongue-in-cheek manner. His work was heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. He described pop art as “not ‘American’ painting but actually industrial painting.”[3] His paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City.

Whaam! and Drowning Girl are generally regarded as Lichtenstein’s most famous works , with Oh, Jeff...I Love You, Too...But... arguably third. Drowning Girl, Whaam! and Look Mickey are regarded as his most influential works. Woman with Flowered Hat has held the record for highest Lichtenstein auction price since May 15, 2013 although that was recently beaten in 2015 by Nurse.

Most of Lichtenstein’s bestknown works are relatively close, but not exact, copies of comic book panels, a subject he largely abandoned in 1965, though he would occasionally incorporate comics into his work in different ways in later decades. These panels were originally drawn by such comics artists as Jack Kirby and DC Comics artists Russ Heath, Tony Abruzzo, Irv Novick, and Jerry Grandenetti, who rarely rceived any credit. Jack Cowart, executive director of the Lichtenstein Foundation, contests the notion that Lichtenstein was a copyist, saying: “Roy’s work was a wonderment of the graphic formulae and the codification of sentiment that had been worked out by others.

The panels were changed in scale, color, treatment, and in their implications. There is no exact copy.”

However, some have been critical of Lichtenstein’s use of comic-book imagery and art pieces, especially insofar as that use has been seen as endorsement of a patronizing view of comics by the art maistream ; cartoonist Art Spiegelman commented that “Lichtenstein did no more or less for comics than Andy Warhol did for soup.”

Lichtenstein’s Still Life paintings, sculptures and drawings, which span from 1972 through the early 1980s, cover a variety of motifs and themes, including the most traditional such as fruit, flowers, and vases. In his Reflection series, produced between 1988 and 1990, Lichtenstein reused his own motifs from previous works.

Interiors (1991–1992) is a series of works depicting banal domestic environments inspired by furniture ads the artist found in telephone books or on billboards. Having garnered inspiration from the monochromatic prints of Edgar Degas featured in a 1994 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the motifs of his Landscapes in the Chinese Style series are formed with simulated Benday dots and block contours, rendered in hard, vivid coluor, with all traces of the hand removed. The nude is a recurring element in Lichtenstein’s work of the 1990s, such as in Collage for Nude with Red Shirt (1995).

In addition to paintings and scultures, Lichtenstein also made over 300 prints, mostly in screenprinting.

eter Man Finkelstein is a Jewish Geman-born American illustrator and graphic artist currently living in New York City.

He’s known for his use of psychedelic shapes and color palettes, spectra in his work, and the counter-culture, pop-art-focused nature of his art.

His work has been featured in various popular publications, events, and various museums and galleries worldwide. Examples of his commissions include being the official artist of the 1994 World Cup, painting of the hull art of a Norwegian Cruise Line, and border murals along entry points to the USA from Canada and Mexico.

pop art artists Max’s art work was first associated with the counter culture, neo-expressionism, and psychedelic movements in graphic design during the late 1960s and early 1970s. He is known for using bursts of color, often containing much or all of the visible spectrum. His work was both influenced by, as well as widely imitated by, others in the field of commercial illustration, such as Heinz Edelmann. Max’s repeated claims, varying in detail, to have worked on Yellow Submarine have been denied by the production team

Max works in multiple media including painting, drawing, etchings (including aquatint), collage, print making, sculpture, video and digital imagery.

He also includes “mass media” as being another “canvas” for his creative expression.

Max often uses American icons and symbols in his artwork. He has created paintings of presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush in addition to his 100 Clintons—a multiple portrait installation. Additional commissions have included the creation of the first “Preserve the Environment” postage stamp, in honor of the World’s Fair in Spokane, WA, border murals at the entry points Canada and Mexico by the US General Services, and exhibitions in over 40 museums and 50 galleries worldwide.

He often features images of celebrities, politicians, athletes and sporting events and other pop culture subjects in his artwork. His artwork was featured on CBS’s The Early Show where his “44 Obamas,” commemorating Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, was debuted

im Dine is an American pop artist. He is sometimes considered to be a part of the Neo-Dada movement. In 1962 Dine’s work was included, along with Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Dowd, Phillip Hefferton, Joe Goode, Edward Ruscha, and Wayne Thiebaud, in the historically important and ground-breaking New Painting of Common Objects, curated by Walter Hopps at the Norton Simon Museum. This exhibition is historically considered one of the first “Pop Art” exhibitions in America. These painters started a movement, in a time of social unrest, which shocked America and the art world. The Pop Art movement fundamentally altered the nature of modern art.

my attitude towards drawing is not necessarily about drawing.

It’s about making the best kind of image I can make , it’s about talking as cleary as I can.

In the early 1960s, he began attaching objects, particularly tools of autobiographical significance, to his canvases. Job #1 from 1962, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, which incorporates paint cans, paint brushes, a screwdriver, and a piece of wood is an example of such a pop art work. These provided commercial as well as critical success, but left Dine unsatisfied.

In September 1966 police raided an exhibition of his work displayed at Robert Fraser’s gallery in London, England. Twenty of his works were seized and Fraser was charged under the Obscene Publications Act of 1959, Dine’s work was found to be indecent but not obscene and Fraser was fined 20 guineas.

The following year Dine moved to London and continued to be represented by Fraser, spending the next four years developing his art.

Returning to the United States in 1971 he focused on several series of drawings. Since 1976 Dine has been represented by The Pace Gallery. In the 1980s sculpture resumed a prominent place in his art. In the time since then there has been an apparent shift in the subject of his art from man-made objects to nature. On May 16, 2008, Jim Dine formally presented a nine meter high bronze statue depicting a walking Pinocchio, named Walking to Bor책s to the city of Bor책s, Sweden. Dine previously worked on a commercial book, paintings, and sculptures that focused on Pinocchio

pop art artists

He was born in Recife, in Northeast of Brazil, Britto lived an extremely modest childhood while growing upamong a big family of eight brothers and sisters. However, his innate creativity allowed Britto to fill his life with images of a bigger and more beautiful world beyond his own. Self-taught at an early age, he painted what he saw and what he imagined on surfaces such as newspapers, cardboard or any scraps that he could find.

he prospered academically.

Still, Britto’s artistic nature eventually led him to seek experiences outside the classroom.

In 1983, Britto traveled to Paris where he was introduced to the works of Matisse and Picasso.

After exhibiting in a few galleries and private shows, Britto was encouraged to travel to the United States where Pop Art was flourishing.

asically here are some buildings with architecture styled to suit fans of pop art.

Indeed popular culture is more and more identified to what is displayed in mass-media such as MTV, life-style magazines or daily newspapers. Popular culture is also more and more entangled with consumer culture.

Today, the popular is what is popularly consumed. As such, even craftsmanship exists only to fulfill an exotic consumption.

And because, by now, architecture has spectacularly entered both the field of mass-media and of popular consumption, architecture has indeed gone ‘pop!’ But I wouldn’t restrain the idea of architecture going ‘pop!’ to it being part of popular culture as we now know it.

Architecture went ‘pop!’ because it entered the vein of pop art, and architecture went ‘pop!’ because its autonomy bubble definitely burst out.

op art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950 s in Britain and in the late 1950 s in the United States. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news, etc. In Pop art, material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, and/or combined with unrelated material. The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it. The color scheme in pop art style is bright and clashing. Choose two bright contrasting colors and a neutral to balance them out. Color blocks can also be used in furniture together with some prints and patterns.

The 60′s style furniture will look great in a pop art style interior design.

Think retro-futuristic chairs, minimalist sofas, and egg armchairs.

entral to some purveyors of the style are notions of artifice, style, and irony, as well as a movement away from the conventions of rock music and traditional pop audiences.

Art pop has been characterized by its emphasis on the manipulation of signs over personal expression, in distinction to art rock or progressive rock, two terms which are often interchangeable. Sociomusicologist Simon Frith has distinguished the appropriation of art into pop music from that of rock music, noting pop’s clarification needed particular concern with style, gesture, and the ironic use of historical eras and genres. Central to particular purveyors of the style were notions of the self as a work of construction and artifice, as well as a preoccupation with the invention of terms, imagery, process, and affect. Cultural theorist Mark Fisher wrote that the development of art pop evolved out of the triangulation of pop, art, and fashion. Frith states that it was “more or less� directly inspired by pop art.

According to critic Stephen Holden, the genre often refers to any pop style which deliberately aspires to the formal values of classical music and poetry, though these works are often marketed by commercial interests rather than respected cultural institutions. Writers for The Independent and the Financial Times have noted the attempts of art pop music to distance its audiences from the public at large.

The boundaries between art and pop music became increasingly blurred throughout the second half of the 20th century.In the 1960s, pop musicians such as John Lennon, Syd Barrett, Pete Townshend, Brian Eno, and Bryan Ferry began to take inspiration from their previous art school studies. Frith states that in Britain, art school represented “a traditional escape route for the bright working class kids, and a breeding ground for young bands like the Beatles and beyond”. In North America, art pop was influenced by Bob Dylan and the Beat Generation, and became more literary through folk music’s singer-songwriter movement. Another chief influence on the development of the style was the pop art movement of the 1950s and 1960s

Holden places art pop’s origins in producers such as Phil Spector and musicians such as Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys incorporating pseudo-symphonic textures to their pop recordings (both Americans), as well as the Beatles’ first recordings with a string quartet. Pop artist Andy Warhol’s Factory house band the Velvet Underground was an American group who emulated Warhol’s art/pop synthesis, echoing his emphasis on simplicity, and pioneering a modernist avant-garde approach to art rock that ignored the conventional hierarchies of artistic representation.

Writer Erik Davis called Wilson’s art pop “unique in music history”, while collaborator Van Dyke Parks compared it to the contemporaneous work of Warhol and artist Roy Litchenstein, citing his ability to elevate common or hackneyed material to the level of “high art”. The Beach Boys’ singles “California Girls” (1965) “God Only Knows” (1966) “Good Vibrations” (1966) are considered “revelations” of art pop by music critic Thor Christensen.

Fisher characterized subsequent artists such as Grace Jones, Róisín Murphy, and the New Romantic groups of the 1980s as a part of an art pop lineage. He noted that the development of art pop involved the rejection of conventional rock instrumentation and structure in favor of dance styles and the synthesizer. Critic Simon Reynolds dubbed British singer Kate Bush “the queen of art-pop”, citing her merging of glamour, conceptualism, and innovation without forsaking commercial pop success during the late 1970s and 1980s. He considered contemporary artists such as Grimes, Julia Holter, and FKA twigs to be working in analogous territory. The music of Grimes in particular was described by the Montreal Gazette as part of “a long tradition of fascination with the pop star as artwork in progress”, with particular attention drawn to her use of digital platforms in her work. The music of Icelandic singer Björk has also been described as art pop for its wide-ranging integration of disparate forms of art and popular culture.
