The detached style of Warhol's prints but pop art at odds with Abstract expressionists.
A new form of art was first introduced by a guy named Andy Warhol. Many of his famous paintings/prints included simple images such as soup cans, Marilyn Monroe, pop, and a non-complex yellow banana. This rebellious form of art inspired by rebellious actions is called pop art. Pop art could be described as bright and simple images that could relate back to the cookie-cutter lifestyle of houses in the 1950s. Pop art also helped express people's feelings and emotions during the mid-1950s to
Anjali Simon Mr. Morris/ Mr. Reilly/ Mr. Hoffman American Studies 1242 25 May 2017 Andy Warhol and Pop Art “His art was interesting as phenomena, but not terribly deep” (Moss 1). These word are uttered by photographer Larry Fink, expressing his opinion on the paintings by Andy Warhol, and his influence during the Pop Art era. Pop Art used images from popular culture such as Marilyn Monroe and Campbell soup cans.
As things shifted away from abstract expressionism, Andy's goal was to show in the big leagues, a commercial artist by day and a painter by night. His first pop art painting ad. was a collage of ads for food and facial surgery. But then in 1962, he painted two different coke bottles, an abstract and a clean line design.

Stewart 2 Andy Warhol was part of the stylistic movement known as Pop Art. This art style creates art that is based off of modern popular culture and the mass media, and is well known for its ironic statements on traditional fine art values and society. Art in the U.S. at this time had somewhat plateaued, some of the more famous paintings done by the abstract expressionists that were once viewed as revolutionary were now seen as cliched and overdone. Muriel Latow, a gallery owner, had given Andy Warhol the idea of painting everyday objects, and Warhol was then praised for conceiving a new art style that simultaneously venerated and condemned the consumerist habits of Americans.
The iconic Andy Warhol work will always be his paintings of the Campbell's soup cans. (You can view ones an example of one such work on display at the Museum of Modern Art here: http://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning/andy-warhol-campbells-soup-cans-1962) Like many of his works, this appears to be silkscreened. Warhol made many such paintings during his lifetime, but this is the one that I think best captures the themes of pop art such as taking a very common object and depicting it in such a way that it becomes "art". Granted, Warhol is not alone in this. He certainly was not the only pop artist out there nor did the movement originate with him.

Pop Art is a form of art that is based on modern popular culture. This form of art is usually created in mass media. The Pop Art movement began in the 1950s; however it wasn’t until the 1960s where it became popular. Andy Warhol was one of the famous Pop art creators, his works focused on artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisements in the 1960s. A few of his famous works consist of “Campbell’s Soup Cans” (1962), “Marilyn diptych” (1963), “Eight Elvises” (1963), “Green Coca-Cola Bottles” (1962) and “Ethel Scull 36 times” (1963).
People started requesting him to draw portraits for them; especially socialites and celebrities. In 2008, “Eight Elvises” was resold for the price of 100 million. Andy Warhol opened his own studio, “The Factory” in 1964. After his studio opened it became a place where celebrities and socialites would constantly appear. I can’t believe that he was a shot by Valerie Solanas, an aspiring writer, and radical feminist, on June 3, 1968, and was severely injured.
Pop art is most associated with creating images of common place objects and people so as to identify routine culture in everyday life into an art form. Pop art is used in the advertising world as an imagery art form tying the commodity status of the goods to the status of art. Campbell’s Soup Can by Andy Warhol for me would be like a common product that I would normally pick up from a supermarket shelf when I desire to have a bowl of soup.
Pop artists had no problems letting machines do some of the work for them very common characteristic among Pop artists was the use of appropriation
