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.
Known for being the father of Pop Art, and a giant in pop culture, Warhol dominated the art scene from the late fifties up until his untimely death in 1987. However Warhol’s influence spread further then the art world, he also was a major player in the LGBT, avant-garde and experimental cinema movements. Born in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Slovakian immigrant parents, Warhol came from humble beginnings. Becoming widely known for debuting the concept of ‘pop art’ in 1962. Warhol’s reach grew further when he started experimenting with film, becoming a major player in the LGBT, avant-garde and experimental cinema movements. Warhol’s artist studio, known famously as ‘The Factory’ became a hub for experimentation, and a go-to point for celebrities, musicians and trans folk. During this time, Warhol came out as an openly gay man, challenging the status quo of the day, a time when being homosexual was illegal. While also producing highly experiential films such as ‘Blow Job’ (1964) and ‘Sleep’ (1964) which were highly political and provocative, at the time. As art critic Dave Hickey asserts, “Art has political consequences, which is to say, it reorganized society and creates constituencies of people around it” (Hickey, 2007), Andy Warhol’s art and lived experience created a political constituency which can be best recognised in the function of the “Silver Factory” on
The International Dada Archive of the University of Iowa is an example of the how the Internet is used as a tool to immortalize the works of the Dada movement. The purpose of the archive is to preserve and spread the written word of the Dada movement. Unlike contemporary art, the artist and writers of the Dada movement did not aim to create eternal works of art and literature (Shipe 2). Tristan Tzara and Hugo Ball, leaders of the movement, reacted against World War I and wanted to open the way to a new art and a new society. Though Dadaists published books and displayed their work, the real spirit of Dada was in events: cabaret performances, demonstrations, confrontation, distribution of leaflets, and small magazines (Shipe 2). These documents exist but can only be found within diaries, audiences, newspaper accounts, and throwaway leaflets. The documents are made a...
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.
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).”
This study demonstrated that pop music influences happiness mood. As hypothesized participants in the pop music category were influence by the music and seem happier. The analysis revealed that participants in the rock and classical music categories didn’t have an effect in their mood. The results for rock and classical music did not supported the hypothesis, which rock music causes a person to have an aggressive mood, and classical music will lead to a calmer mood. The data support the primacy effect pop music results supported the hypothesis that pop music leads to a happier mood. The results from this data support from previous literature research such as the pop category. The results could also interpret as support for (Hargreaves, 1999). People make their music preferences based on the emotional state they are in (Hargreaves, 1999). The analysis revealed that pop music scored higher than students who had rock or classical. The implications for this study are to examine if music influence mood in a negative or positive aspect). As an outcome happiness mood correlated with pop music . There wasn’t no effect between rock music and aggressive mood. Classical music didn’t have a relationship between classic music and calm mood. The results of this study wouldn’t be able to support (Jordana Mena, 2007). This consists of classical music being composed with different emotions based on the key and time signature it is on. If the classical piece is written in a higher key then they saw different mood responses than the classical pieces written in a low key (Jordan Mena, 2007). This study has provided that music is more than just a piece, of a lyric, beat, or instrument it has been proven that music can help people ...
Pop art is one of the most interesting elements in the contemporary world. Pop art is a form of art that depicts object or scenes from everyday life and employs techniques of commercial art and popular illustration. The Pop art played the role of examining legitimacy of the traditional art world since inception. Some of the prominent artist in pop art in 1950s and 1960s include Andy Warhol that attains prominence in this genre (Sayre 226). Warhol ideology entails the concept of art that a person can make regardless of place and method. Some of the critics to Warhol ideology cite that his work is formless, sense of direction, and posterity. Some of the iconic works of art such as the telephone invention has seen artists accumulate much wealth. Telephone is one of the works that has face value and has a simple production. A close analysis of the telephone reveals its brilliance. Popular art has brown in stature in recent years with some examples fetching vast sums of money, works such as the pop art portrayals of Mel Ramos. Warhol’s central theme concentrates on pop art and describes some of the changes in art movement, in his ideology. Warhol’s Telephone work seeks evaluates and elaborates how artists can apply color to portray different themes from the artwork.
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.
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.

Popular music is any music since industrialization in the mid-1800’s and is preferred by the middle class. It covers many genres such as rock, country, R&B, hip-hop, and rap.
Bold colors, consumer goods, comic book-inspired masterpieces. These are a few traits of Pop art which is often recognized as the most famous and ingenious art form of the 1960s. Pop art is the most innovative art form of the 20th century for several reasons. First, it has a rich history, beginning in Europe and spreading to America after World War II. The term “Pop” comes from popular culture and also inspired television, advertisements, and comics. Several people are credited with being the first explorers of Pop art and introducing Americans to the unique art form. Next, Pop art has many distinct characteristics that make it extraordinary such as vivid colors and paintings that depict
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

In the contemporary society, popular culture represents the emerging lifestyles, fashions, values, as well as customs that the mainstream population follows without hesitation and with loyalty. It embraces a blend of philosophies, opinions, beliefs, viewpoints, and imageries, besides various forms of events that specific groups of individuals adopt in the society. Popular culture plays a significant role in shaping the way people think or perceive things by offering them a unique interpretation of something that they may eventually like.
