Pop art is an art movement that questions the traditions of fine art and incorporates images from popular culture. Neo-Dada is an art trend that shares similarities in the method and/or intent to Dada art pieces. Both these movements emerged around the same time periods in history, the 1950s and 1960s, and artists from both generally got their inspiration from the Dada movement, which developed in the early 20th century. The movement altered how people viewed art, and it presented a variety of new methods and styles. Dada artists, also known as Dadaists, believed in showing their anti-war beliefs through their artwork. The Dada movement produced a different style of art, and pieces created controversy because they were outside the realm of what society considered art and what was expected and acceptable. This set in motion a chance for artists to be able to create the kind of artwork that inspires them, even though it was considered unorthodox. Even though they were controversial, many pieces that were created during Dada heavily influenced other styles of art to come after, such as Neo-Dada and Pop art. The influence of Dada can be seen in Robert Rauschenberg’s work, who was a Neo-Dadaist, and it can also be seen through Andy Warhol’s work, a Pop artist. Even though Dada affected both artists, they created very different pieces. This paper will analyze Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans and Rauschenberg’s White Painting (Three Panel) and discuss how they were impacted differently by the Dada movement, and why they are each considered to be different styles of artwork. The time in history of each artist was the same, and the same movement influenced them both, but the outcome of the art that they each created was incredibly different....

...ists’ goal and intention was to show their radical pieces and have them displayed in popular fine art museums is ironic and shows how anti-art they both were. The idea of the readymade is credited to Marcel Duchamp, and it is one of the century’s most significant developments for artists that came after him. These were simple items of everyday use that artists used, and sometimes modified, in order to create a work of art. Warhol used everyday objects in his artwork, which unquestionably originated from viewing Duchamp’s experimentation with the readymade art, and using objects as the subjects. From Duchamp, Andy Warhol realized that common household objects, advertisements, newspapers, and actual people were all available to him to utilize as objects for his art. Because of this influence, Warhol was able to use Campbell soup cans as his inspiration for his piece.
History plays a very important role in the development of art and architecture. Over time people, events, and religion, have contributed to the evolution of art. Christianity has become a very common and well established religion, however, in the past it was hidden and a few people would worship this religion secretly. Gradually, Christianity became a growing religion and it attracted many converts from different social statuses. Christian art was highly influenced by the Greco-Romans, but it was immensely impacted by the establishment of the Edict of Milan in the year 313 AD. The Edict of Milan was so significant that scholars divide Christian art into two time periods, time before and after the Edict of Milan of 313.
In order to discuss pop art I have chosen to examine the work and to some extent lives of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol who were two of the main forces behind the American movement. I intend to reflect the attitudes of the public and artists in America at this time, while examining the growing popularity of pop art from its rocky, abstract expressionist start in the 1950s through the height of consumer culture in the 60s and 70s to the present day.
Andy Warhol’s rise to fame was not easy. Haunted by his profession as a commercial artist in New York he struggled to gain recognition as a real artist, yet he kept trying. He experimented with different styles of art hoping to get a solo exhibition at a gallery. One of Warhol’s experimental styles was influenced by comic books; he made paintings that included characters from comics, along with though balloons. Warhol was greatly disappointed after seeing paintings of an artist by the name of Roy Lichtenstein, whose work resembled comic books as well. Fearing that his comic style paintings were inferior to those of Lichtenstein’s, Warhol moved on to another motif – painting consumer goods, specifically Campbell’s Soup cans. His original 32 paintings of Campbell’s canned soup (titled Campbell’s Soup Cans) played a major role in defining Andy Warhol’s artistic career. Apart from helping him get his first solo exhibition the Campbell’s Soup Cans steered the direction of Warhol’s future work.
Pop art is an experimental art which surfaced in Great Britain in the early 1950’s. One of the major art movements of the twentieth century, it came into its own in the United States in the late 1950’s. This art form incorporated photographs in ways that had not been utilized before. It utilized mass-culture imagery and iconography, in contrast to the traditional tendencies of fine art. Pop art is considered to be one of the last modern art movements and served as a precursor to postmodern art. The art form is characterized by themes and techniques derived from mass culture, including advertising and comic books. Perhaps one of the most famous Pop artists, is Andy Warhol.
When studied with World War 1, “Dada was not an artistic movement in the accepted sense; it was a storm that broke over the world of art as the war did over the nations (Tucker).”

Two years later on a poster in the mall at a Spencer's store I saw Warhol's famous Campbell's Soup Can work of art. At first glance I thought the poster was ridiculous because it featured such a simplistic, moronic image. Then, my artistic eye and appreciation for the eccentric took over, and I was immediately drawn into this cool and crazy phenomenon that Andy Warhol called art. I bought the poster and hung it in my bedroom. None of my friends had ever heard of Warhol and did not understand why I would display a 24 x 30 inch Campbell's soup can on my wall amongst the likes of Iron Maiden and Heather Locklear. I didn't either, but I knew I liked it.

The beginnings of the Dada art movement can be traced at Stieglitz’s gallery. In From “291” to Zurich, Ileana Leavens writes, “In 1968 William Agee placed the beginnings of New York Dada as early as 1910, at Stieglitz gallery “291”, where Benjamin de Casseres and Marius de Zayas ‘launched a full-scale attack on canons of art and morality...’ and defined ‘the attitudes later known as Dada,” (Leavens, 4). This idea largely forms the basis of Dada. Also noted by Leavens,“But as more and more radical forms of modern art and aesthetics were considered at “291,” this experimentation was to carry “291” beyond the realm of art, into anti-art, and with the emergence of anti-art as an art form, the principles of photography were once more reevaluated,” (16). At the same time, Dada applauded artwork that defied conventional definitions of beautiful art. For the first time, art had the ability to make statements through ugliness, forcing viewers to contemplate meaning and purpose rather than looking at images that applauded already accepted

Campbell's Soup Cans work suggests a mechanical uniformity that is repeated in the thousands of homes that have a similar object, a banal and common representation of the spirit of our time. Warhol continued to express his ideas about consumerism and kept using repetition in his work. He created several works that involved the same theme of Campbell’s Soup Cans throughout the years.
