POP ART-2



From search on internet, I know pop art is a colorful art, so I use the color the same as "colorful lip"(the image I post before). I think this can show us this is pop art.

POP ART



SEARCH:
"The term first appeared in Britain during the 1950s and referred to the interest of a number of artists in the images of mass media, advertising, comics and consumer products. The 1950s were a period of optimism in Britain following the end of war-time rationing, and a consumer boom took place. Influenced by the art seen in Eduardo Paolozzi's 1953 exhibition Parallel between Art and Life at the Institute for Contemporary Arts, and by American artists such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, British artists such as Richard Hamilton and the Independent Group aimed at broadening taste into more popular, less academic art. Hamilton helped organize the 'Man, Machine, and Motion' exhibition in 1955, and 'This is Tomorrow' with its landmark image Just What is it that makes today's home so different, so appealing? (1956). Pop Art therefore coincided with the youth and pop music phenomenon of the 1950s and '60s, and became very much a part of the image of fashionable, 'swinging' London. Peter Blake, for example, designed album covers for Elvis Presley and the Beatles and placed film stars such as Brigitte Bardot in his pictures in the same way that Warhol was immortalizing Marilyn Monroe in the USA. Pop art came in a number of waves, but all its adherents - Joe Trilson, Richard Smith, Peter Phillips, David Hockney and R.B. Kitaj - shared some interest in the urban, consumer, modern experience."


MY OWN: I think in POP ART, they bold and imaginative use of color, the style is simple, smooth lines and popularity of pop art is an important factor in the faction arena. In this moment, some designer use famous person's photo to design something and for decoration. And the idea of pop art is art is not only be elegant but also should be equivalent to life. Just my personal idea.



famous person's photo, colorful
simple and colorful

DADAISM

REPRESENTATIVE: MARCEL DUCHAMP , 1887-1968

Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922. The movement primarily involved visual arts, literaturepoetry, art manifestoes, art theorytheatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Its purpose was to ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. In addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and anarchistic in nature.

MY OPINION
Dadaism by a group of young artists and anti-war leaders, they though oppose the beautiful arts to show their values.They wanna tell us, unattractive arts also is an good art.
