The pose of the subject just oozes professionality. She has great posture, and holds herself with a stance of authority. Though she is facing slightly to the left. She appears as a very formal lady. The subject has a neutral expression, though she is slightly frowning. Her gaze at first glance is hard and looks straight at the painter, but as you continue to look, you see the softness in her eyes. The colour is exaggerated in the face. Even though her face is more colourful than real life, the shades of colours…

Without doing any research and background checks on the artist and going off with my previous knowledge I know that the painter, Andy Warhol, gave birth to the pop-art style. I haven't ever seen this painting, Rebel Without a Cause, but I do know many other works from him from my previous art classes. His best-known painting includes a bunch of Campbell's soup cans, but with an Andy Warhol twist. The painting also oozes of bright colors like this one and repeats the same image in multiple places. The picture has a similar style because the model has his outline repeated twice side by side in the painting.…
In the 1960s an art movement known as Pop Art had begun. Pop art was meant to be simple to aid the audience in creating their own interpretations of the pieces. Two of the leading artists were Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Warhol was a fan of women, unlike Warhol, Lichtenstein was inspired by culture; their paintings are both pieces of Pop Art but they are different because Warhol’s paintings are mostly of women and Lichtenstein’s are of famous cartoon characters. The artists used different techniques to catch their viewers attention. Both pieces of art displayed different messages to the viewer. Although both artists used Pop art, they had several differences in their artwork such as one being a real public figure while the other is a…
Andy Warhol founded the art movement called pop art, and his lifestyle and work both mocked and celebrated the world’s obsession with materiality and fame. On one side, his paintings of distorted everyday items and celebrity faces could be seen as a display for what he viewed as a culture consumed with money and being famous. On the other side, his focus on consumer goods and celebrities, and his own fame and fortune, suggest a life in celebration of the aspects of American culture that his work criticized.…

His neutral and obsessive attitude towards popular culture transformed his work into a quintessential reflection of the industrial era. His adaptation of a multilayered process, and obsession with reproduction became the underlying feature that would set him apart from most pop artists. Warhol had a detached crisp style of art making that was centred on commercial imagery found in media outlets such as advertisements, magazine clippings, comics and newspapers. The use of silk screen allowed him to create copious amounts of near identical prints in a short amount of time, however he was not actually interested in the amount he could produce, rather he was more inclined to work with a mechanical process in which silk screen offered, by doing this he was able to replicate and critique the very way popular culture functioned, believing that a mechanistic process would erode the value and meaning of the image, in other words the more exposed you are to an image the more detached you will be towards it, reinforcing the statement that pop artists were generally more critical towards the society they…

This style is what Andy Warhol was known for, turning simple everyday items into powerful and mesmerizing pieces of art.…

Warhol’s Campbell’s soup started the Pop movement which lead the modern art we know today. The Pop movement was named for its use of popular objects or people. Warhol's series of Campbell's Soup painting were not meant to be observed for their form or style, like that of the abstractionists. What made these works significant was Warhol's co-opting of universally recognizable imagery, such as a Campbell's soup can, and displaying it as a mass-produced item, but within a fine art context. In that sense, Warhol wasn't just emphasizing popular imagery, but rather providing commentary on how people have come to perceive these things in modern times: as items to be bought and sold, identifiable as such with one glance.…
