Homework Assignment #7 MoMa Museum Report

1.Pop Art -

Pop arts began in late 1950s and that's when the world was already introduced to Television. Pop artist like Andy Warhol came up with an idea, connecting the fine art traditions with pop culture base from TV or cartoon. To push boundaries but not forgetting about the tradition of art, Warhol combined the material from painted gestures and photography, handmade and readymade, and object and image and sometimes text.

Gold Marilyn Monroe done by Andy Warhol was made in the same year she committed suicide. Warhol painted the canvas gold and silkscreen inked her face in the center. This is a very famous piece by Andy Warhol and have a strong characteristic of Pop arts by using the neon of primary color and a commercial system like silkscreening.




2. Abstract Expressionism -

This painting is by Jackson Pollock. What he was trying to do about this painting is that he wanted to try something new, something that no one ever tried before. He did this painting by dripping the paint to the canvas. He laid the canvas on the floor and then just started spreading and dripping the paint. A painting that he did with no sketches needed.
