Pop Art
Contemporary art has been around since the 20th century, and many transformations have been made in the way artists present their artworks. Today, contemporary artworks are considered a sign of beauty and artists working in this field influence varying cultures and traditions in many ways. Some of them work individually, while the others make groups in order to present something nice and extraordinarily special to the target audience (Fiorino 113). This form of art combines varying concepts, methods, subjects, themes and materials that continue challenging artists working in other fields. As a whole, contemporary art is distinguished from the other forms of art through its organizing principles, ideology, and uniqueness; it has become a must part of different cultures in the world.
The 1960s’ Artists Made Art Contemporary
A wave of radicalism marked the 1960s. From students demanding democracy to revolutions in the fields of art and science, this era saw a lot of changes and controversies at the same time. It was the time when New York was cemented as an epicenter of the whites. Artists like Kenneth Noland, Helen Frankenthaler, and Barnett Newman came up with some contemporary artworks. It was the same time when pop art emerged in the United States and Britain, introducing the world to something entirely different and better. This art movement consisted of varying forms of art, especially mass cultures such as comic books and advertisements; it emphasized the kitschy or banal elements of cultures and is often associated with the artists’ desire to opt for rendering and more advanced techniques. In pop art, materials are visually removed from its original context, isolated and combined with unrelated things in order to create uniqueness or a better version of the same piece.
It is widely believed that pop art is a far better way to convey emotions than conceptual art and minimalism (Beattie 133). In ancient times, artists like Richard Hamilton ND Eduardo Paolozzi from Britain, and Jasper Johns, Larry Rivers and Robert Rauschenberg from the United States worked on this particular form of contemporary art. Thus, it can be said that pop art is interpreted as a reaction to then-dominant concepts and ideas of abstract expressionism. It can also be considered an expansion of the ideas presented by these artists, with the core focus on visualization.
Today, many artists work in this field, take their emotions seriously, and can convey their feelings and emotions in the form of artworks. Product labeling, logo figures and other forms of pop art can be seen in almost all parts of the world. The core purpose of this form of art is to let the world know about the worth and significance of art in one’s life. Some people may think that art is not as much important as is science. I think that there is nothing like this since art and science are two integral parts of a person’s life, especially pop art takes imagery that is widely used in advertising. In pop art, everything matters, such as the labeling of a shipping box containing clothes or food items, and the export of certain products by brands like Coca-Cola.
Benefits of Pop Art
When it comes to talking about the benefits of pop art, we can say that pop artists have contributed to society in many ways. First of all, they have introduced us to ideas like how to design picnic tables, curtains, coke bottles, and others. Similarly, pop artists now know how to make the wise use of colors, patterns, designs, and styles in order to come up with something nice and exciting, impressing a large number of people around the globe.
The fact is that pop art has been dominating the world since the 1960s. It features various consumer products, household items, and other similar things. From Campbell’s soup cans to Coca-Cola and Pepsi’s advertisements, pop culture can be seen everything, in everything. It has also been introduced to the world in the form of comic books, newspapers, magazines and even some websites and blogs (Bruggeman 336). Today, artists know how to create outstanding pop works in order to leave a good impression on the audience. They not only design and create their artworks uniquely, but also know how to boost their performance and gain more knowledge with time. Thus, it can be said that pop artists have changed the way we look at different artworks displayed in museums and galleries across the globe.
In some forms of pop art, commercial, mechanicals and advanced techniques are used, including silk-screening. An artist always knows how to select the right kind of method and how to come up with an artwork that could leave an ever-lasting impression on his fans. Another benefit is that pop art is incredibly diverse. Even though it originated in the United States and Britain, this form of art is now famous among artists living in Canada, Germany, China, Japan, India and worldwide. This means pop art has now become an international topic of discussion, and more and more artists are showing a...
