Pop Art
Triggered by the new middle class American culture of having the perfect family with a working
husband, a wife and kids. People in the art industry began to go against the conformity of this idea
or image. Mass media, automation, and conservativism became a big part of American culture.
Influences
DADA
Taking images and other items made by other people and displaying them as art
Did not commit themselves to any specific agenda or philosophy
Opposed the status quo through depicting visuals of modern life in the 20th century
CONSUMERISM
Used found objects, science, and technology in their discussions to question the place that
consumerism had in Fine arts
The found images were mainly items from popular American consumer culture like magazine
covers
Characteristics
Became a success because viewers could understand it
Used images of things that people experienced in their daily lives as it revealed the reality of
everyday lives
Made people aware of the world around them
Was not trying to be critical or satirical
Used images from cartoons and ads
Shapes showed no 3D depth
Smooth paint application, showing no individualism or expression of emotion
Compositions reflect overload of visual information in daily life
Experimented with mediums they didn’t previously think of as mediums- inspired by DADA
Each artist made different observations through their work
Bright contrasting colours draw attention to flatness, emphasises generic
