Thanks for making another very informative video about art movements. Although pop art is not my favourite, I can appreciate the point pop artists were trying to make with their work.
I've been watching your videos for 2 months. Uninterruptedly. And what I love most about your videos is that the visuals are so beautiful that I don't do anything else when I watch your video. You are magnificent!
I heard that back in May Andy Warhol’s "Shot Sage Blue Marilyn" fetched at a record high of $195 million at Christie's, making it the most expensive of all the 20th century artworks. 🤑🤑
Ppp art is so courful that we love it as it gives us energy and optimism but did the artists reached their point when they wanted to denounce consumerism ? I m not so sure ....
I kinda like pop art, but I like more complex art as well, where I can guess what technique the artist used. Like impressionism, realist-style paintings and such.
very cool crash course. as a 2022 evloving artist. I was looking for new angle to experss my ideas and POP ART stood out for me. just need to modernize it.. GOOD JOB!!
I watched this video with my Italian students to get an insight into Pop Art. They said it's a very strange type of art! The video editing is really good
What I would like to see more of on your amazing channel in the future is the beauty of minimalist and hyperrealist art works. I've heard they both emerged around the same time as Andy Warhol became known. Your partiality for pop art and Andy Warhol may lead to their potential strong protests.😒 Can't you hear Dan Flavin clamouring for your attention, snapping his fingers? "Hello, Curious Muse! love me please. I am no less a great post modern artist than Andy Warhol . Let your room be flooded with colorful light, will you?" Hehe😉😁
I like the British version but I find myself repulsed by the American. Taking adds and turning them into collages to make a statement is genius but simply copying pasting can soup is too much.
Pop art has become so incredibly saturated. I’ve seen this style my whole life, abused and misused. I do think it has its unique flairs (colors, designs) but there’s a lack of imagination running through its thread. The fucking can of soup is not creative in the least. It’s lazy. I’d scream it was the end of art, too, if I was an old head at the time. And to hear critics initially considered it a flop further validates such a point. Geesh. I’m so mad to discover this is the source of all our American mainstream “artistic” nonsense 😡
Thanks for your colorful video. In Europe in these days if we watch television we see only black and brown, the colors of the war. But we european people hope for peace, the peace flag has seven beautiful colors. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Thank you - we're so sad about what's happening in Europe these days 😭😭😭... We stopped uploading our videos and have not been doing it for some time in solidatiry with all affected people. We then later debated a lot if actually publishing arts & culture content can be that ray of light and decide to resume. We too hope peace comes very soon!
you guys did not even mention one female pop art artist - and there are so many, like Pauline BOTY, Corita KENT, MARISOL, Kiki KOGELNIK, Martha ROSLER, Evelyne AXELL, Christa DICHGANS...
I love the way the creator of this episode AVOIDS mentioning the Warhol subject who has garnered the most for Christies's and Sotheby's, as well as from private sales, a total of US$375,000,000. That is more, much more, than a quarter of a billion dollars. Incredible that someone can do research on Warhol and PURPOSEDLY miss the following silkscreens, mentioned as they are here, in increasing value i) "Double Elvis" US$0.7m, ii) "Elvis Campbell" US$1.4m,. then US2,8m,'' iii) "Triple Elvis", USD 1,8m, iv) "Red Elvis" US$2.9m v) "Single Elvis " US$3.5m, vi) "Elvis I and II", US$15,7m, vii) "Elvis 2X US$37.03 viii) "Double Elvis", US$37.1m, then US$37m, ix) Double Elvis US$53m. x) "Triple Elvis" US$81.9m and xi) "Eight Elvises" US$100m. In fact, of the SIX top selling Warhol silkscreens, EVER, 2 have Elvis as a subject
It’s a parody of consumer culture and its place in history. Nothing more. Parody and deep criticism of deep superficiality. You could say that Oscar Wilde hinted the coming of Pop in Lord Henry’s sarcasm during a dinner conversation at Dorian Gray’s talking about the business of dry fruit in America: “What is dry fruit? - American literature” replies Lord Henry.
How helpful to have a quick overview of such a genre. Now I know more or less where they are coming from. It's an interesting idea to criticise parts of the art world as elitist.
Lichtenstein's pieces came from DC Romance comics and DC War comics... AFAIK, he NEVER used Marvel images. Also, he stole the ideas WHOLE CLOTH from the DC comics and never gave credit to the original artist. Sure, he made them larger and hand painted them, but so what? They were still the same images found in the comics. At least Warhol reimagines his images with color and repetition. Lichtenstein just STEALS and the major art dealers... Christie's etc,... get rich from his stolen BS ideas.
