PopArt was defined by images of material goods and popular culture. Pop artists rejected the serious nature of the art worlD、To do this, these artists painted or printed everyday images of things that usually are not considered art. These images included photographs from magazines, drink advertisements and drawings from popular comic strips.Some critics say that PopArt was a reaction toAbstractExpressionism.Artists of theAbstractExpressionist movement took themselves very serious. They did not approve of popular culture. They thought artists should not be concerned with such unimportant parts of culture. Pop artists, however, celebrated popular culture in all of its forms. They approved of using mass media and mass production as an influence in their art. PopArt also reflected the rise in wealth and the importance of owning things thatAmerica experienced in the 1950s. One art critic defined Pop art as popular, low-cost, young, mass-produced and sexy.Warhol is one of the most famous Pop artists. From the introduction of him, we can see what proposals a pop art holds for his/her art.One of Warhol’’s first exhibits was in 1962. He created thirty-two paintings of red and white soup cans. These paintings shook the art worlD、The soup cans looked like the soup produced by one ofAmerica’’s most popular food companies,Campbell’’s.Every painting looked the same except for the words written on the can that described the different kinds of soup.Warhol used a very smooth painting method so the artwork almost did not look hand-made. The paintings looked like they came out of the same factory that made the soup cans. No one had ever seen art like this. Warhol also made paintings using images such asCocaCola bottles, dollar symbols, and popular cleaning products. He took the most everyday objects and turned them into fine art.Warhol soon started making silk-screen prints. This method of reproduction permitted the artist to make many images very quickly. He would often repeat the same picture many times in one artwork. He liked the idea of mass produced art. He once said that he thought everyone should think alike and be like a machine. In fact, the place where he created his art was called The Factory. He had many assistants who helped him produce his art.Warhol explored many other subjects. For example, he made a series of paintings on death and disaster. These works showed images of car accidents and executions. He also made pictures of famous people such as the actress Marilyn Monroe and the singerElvis Presley. Warhol was very interested in fame. He celebrated famous people and they celebrated him. Andy Warhol once said something about fame that became very popular and is still repeated today. He said that in the future, everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes. Warhol certainly enjoyed being well known. He created a very unusual public personality. He would wear strange wigs on his head made of white hair. He would go out every night to parties and other social gatherings where there were beautiful and important people. He would talk to reporters in a very shy manner. Often he would provide unclear answers to their questions. Andy Warhol was much more than just a painter. He was also a film maker, publisher, and manager of a rock banD、For example, he produced several low budget art films in the early nineteen sixties. One was called "Empire". It showed a filmed image of theEmpire StateBuilding in New YorkCity. The film was eight hours long. In the movie "Sleep", Warhol recorded a friend sleeping. The film lasts six hours. When asked about the uneventful nature of these films, Warhol answered that he liked boring or uninteresting things.In the middle 1960s, Warhol also managed a rock band called The Velvet UndergrounD、He helped produce one of their records and designed the cover of the album. Another of Warhol’’s projects was the creation of "Interview" magazine. Thi
