POP ART(1958-1975)

My Opinion:
Pop Art, in my opinion, is a more popular art form, then, through the mediocre life of exaggeration and irony to express the central idea of the abstract.

Characterized in its eclectic mix of color and comic style, but different from the Dada art of abstraction, Pop art is a re-creation of reality-based art, the rendering techniques by copying and repeatedly stressed that the artist want to express The central idea.

About POP Art From Internet:

Pop Art was a visual art movement that emerged in the 1950s in Britain and the United States. The origin of the term Pop Art is unknown but is often credited to British art critic Lawrence Alloway in an essay titled "The Arts and the Mass Media", although he uses the words "popular mass culture" instead of "pop art". Alloway was one of the leading critics to defend Pop Art as a legitimate art form.

It was one of the biggest art movements of the twentieth century and is characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, such as television, movies, advertising and comic books. Pop art is widely interpreted as either a reversal or reaction to Abstract Expressionism or an expansion upon it.

Pop Art aimed to employ images of popular culture as opposed to elitist culture in art, often emphasizing kitsch and thus targeted a broad audience. It was easy to understand, easy to recognize because it was iconic and accessible to the mass public. Pop art is sometimes considered to be very academic and unconventional, but it was always easy to interpret.

Pop Art and Minimalism (which is difficult to interpret in comparison) are considered to be the last modern art movements and are on the cusp of postmodern art.

The movement was marked by clear lines, sharp paintwork and clear representations of symbols, objects and people commonly found in popular culture. It allowed for large scale artworks like Abstract Expressionism, but drew upon more DADAist elements. DADAism explored some of the same topics, but pop art replaced the destructive, satirical, and anarchic elements of the Dada movement with a reverence for mass culture and consumerism.

My POP Art:

I think the greatest feature of POP Art is his bold use of color, color, exaggerated, irrational, is one of its representative features, so the production process, I mainly used the different colors, and change the basic picture shape, to make them more inclined to comics.
