Another Mickey Drawing 1982

Scuplture 1981

Keith Haring did not just do drawing and painting on canvas. He also did sculpture.

Different Take on Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse was used by a lot of Pop Artists. Some used him as a political cartoon.

Untitled, 1980

1980 Collage

Keith Haring was very political. He also used collages as part of his portfolio. This one has a very strange connotation.

Lots of Haring

For those of you that have grown up watching Sesame Street, you may recognize Keith Haring's work. Keith Haring could be considered a graffiti artist, but his work portrayed a lot of social change. Dewey would appreciate Haring because he displayed his work not just in museums, but in subway tunnels and on buildings.

Robert Rauschenberg "Monogram"

Robert Rauschenberg "Bed"

Rauschenberg again takes a normal object and creates a masterpiece.

Robert Rauschenberg "White Paintings"

A little different, Rauschenberg decided to not paint his piece. He left it free of marks of his own. This would be a piece that Plato would say could be interpreted by the audience.

Jasper Johns "According to What"

Jasper Johns "Painted Bronze (Ale Cans)

The thing about Pop artists is that they used everyday objects in their pieces. The artist would use ordinary cans, such as these ale cans, and paint them. These cans could be $1 a piece, but the artist would paint them, and then, suddenly, they could become priceless artifacts.

Jasper Johns "False Start"

Jasper Johns "Flag"

Before Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns also took normal, everyday objects, and made them art. In this piece, he uses newspaper articles dipped in paint to create the American Flag.

Roy Lichtenstein "Drowning Girl"

This is probably the most popular Roy Lichtenstein painting. "Drowning Girl" seems as if it was a piece of a comic strip that was blown up to be a masterpiece.

Roy Lichtenstein "Popeye"

Shifting Artists

The next artist is Roy Lichtenstein. His work deals more with cartoons and comic strips.

Andy Warhol "Mao"

This is an interesting painting of the Chinese leader, Mao. It is interesting because Andy Warhol makes him look very feminine. If we consider Collingwood, he would say that Warhol was using his image of Mao in his painting, and this would be the image that others would understand as true.

Andy Warhol "Orange Car Crash 14 time"

Rolling cans

To get the ball rolling, or rather cans, I would like to start off this blog with Andy Warhol's "100 Cans" or, as everyone else knows it, the Campbell's Soup Cans. This is his premiere work, and probably one of his most recognized works.

The Pop Art Movement

The Pop Art movement had been a great time period for art. Basically any idea that could have been considered art had been made into an art piece. A lot of the artists had been criticized because they create pieces that some said a two year old could have painted. This blog will explore the best pieces from that movement, and will give information as to how this period of art flourished.
