CHARACTERISTICS OF POP 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 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.

Robert Rauschenberg is an American artist who gained

Prominence as a pop artist after abandoning

expressionism.

He found his signature mode by embracing

materials traditionally outside of the artist's reach.

He would cover a canvas with house paint, or ink the wheel of a car and

run it over paper to create a drawing, while demonstrating rigor and

concern for formal painting.

Rauschenberg is well-known for his "Combines" of the 1950s, in which non-

traditional materials and objects were employed in innovative combinations.Rauschenberg was both a painter and a sculptor and the Combines are a

combination of both, but he also worked with photography, printmaking,

papermaking, and performance

Claes Oldenburg (born January 28, 1929) is a

Swedish sculptor, best known for his public

art installations typically featuring very large

replicas of everyday objects. Another theme

in his work is soft sculpture versions of

everyday objects

Many of Oldenburg's large-scale sculptures of

mundane objects elicited public ridicule

before being embraced as whimsical,

insightful, and fun additions to public outdoor

art. In the 1960s he became associated withthe Pop Art movement and created many so-

called happenings, which were performance

art related productions of that time

He is best known for his paintingFlag(1954

55), which he painted after having a dream

of the American flag

Early works were composed using simple

schema such as flags, maps, targets, letters

and numbers. Johns' treatment of the

surface is often lush and painterly; he is

famous for incorporating such media as

encaustic and plaster relief in his paintings.

Johns played with and presented opposites,

contradictions, paradoxes, and ironies, much

like Marcel Duchamp (who was associatedwith the Dada movement). Johns also

produces intaglio prints, sculptures and

lithographs with similar motifs

ROY LICHTENSTEIN

Lichtenstein was one of the first artists to develope the style

pop art. He drew comic like paintings. One of the great pictures

he drew was titled "Whaam.

It was painted in 1963. You can tell Lichtenstein's paintings

because he made dots in the background, and he has thought

bubbles in most of his paintings

EVOLUTION OF POP ART

This type of pop art relies heavily on broadening the idea of

readymades and using pre-existing items to create a final product

Neo-pop art tends to criticize and evaluate Western

culture,values,relationship,and interactions,frequently poking funat celebs,and openly embraces ideas that are provocative and

controversial

The original pop art movement was boundary breaking and avant

garde whereas neo-pop art is not a new style but a dramatic and

controversial evolution of the previous generation.
