All-round Enlightenment of Pop Art to Modern People

Pop art is an art school against tradition, history, elites, classics and wisdom. It often uses some vulgar mass social graphics to copy and reproduce the original life as the basic element of its artistic creation.

Pop art first appeared in Britain in the 1950s. Richard hamilton, an English painter, made his first pop art work with street posters and pictures for the first time: What makes life so beautiful.

From the perspective of transcending the modern significance of art, Hamilton's pop art completely disintegrated the artistic modernity in many directions with a playful and vulgar artistic language. Therefore, the development of art has entered the post-modern period with diversified spirit and value due to the argument of deconstruction theory and pop art, and this so-called post-modern stage representation is certainly not the spirit of transcendence and development in the traditional sense. If we don't understand this key point, then the confusion about contemporary art will never be solved.

Therefore, the understanding of pop art can not be explained by traditional concepts. If you can't get rid of your obsession with tradition, then your conclusion about the Vientiane of contemporary art must be foggy. Because the reverse deconstruction of standards is the main feature of pop art.

American Pop Artist Jeff Koons's Works

Although pop art was born in Britain, since the 1960s and 1970s, a large number of famous pop artists have appeared in the United States, such as andy warhol, Rauschenberg, Audenberg, Lichtenstein, Wiezell Mann, Jasper Jones and Jeff Conte. The scale and momentum of its pop art have long forgotten Britain or richard hamilton, the birthplace of pop art.

Nowadays, when it comes to American culture, American pop art cannot be bypassed. Looking back on the development of American culture, we can really seize the opportunity of the times, avoid the shortcomings and shortcomings of our own cultural history, and at the same time, establish American pop culture and become famous all over the world. It can be said that it has not only attacked the modernity with historical continuity, but also covered up our own cultural and historical defects, which cannot be said to be great.

As an anti-elite pop art, it is strange that so many elite masters have been born, and its anti-elite concept inevitably seems to be just a strategy (compared with the original concept, it seems that it cannot be taken too seriously).

Followers of pop art are pouring into the field of contemporary art in China. Visiting art parks or galleries will see a lot of works in pop art style. Popular gaudy art and political figures during the Cultural Revolution are also widely used in works of art, which all reflect the spiritual characteristics of pop art ... It is said that western countries particularly recognize these pop arts in China, so the fact that China pop art is flooded and favored by the west is only known to China pop artists themselves.

There is a misunderstanding in the world that a famous China art critic confuses the symbol of China with the image of China, which is really sad. Symbols and graphics are quite different in semantics and actual visual concepts. Confusing symbols with graphics reveals that people who have been engaged in art criticism for so many years can't even understand symbols and graphics, which shows how blind China's art criticism field is. As for the graphic of China's great criticism during the Cultural Revolution, it is obviously different from the graphic with symbolic significance. Perhaps critics need to make up lessons to understand the concept before discussing the problem, otherwise it will lead to fainting, hoping that people will see the bad consequences of mentally retarded people. By the way, China's graphics during the Cultural Revolution were not unique to China, but the graphic styles under the will of some countries in the world's socialist countries, which had nothing to do with symbols, let alone China's symbols.

With the continuous transcendence and rebellion of modern art against traditional culture in the past, some famous artistic sayings have emerged, such as "Everyone is an artist" (it is said that the German artist Boyce said). However, the spirit of promoting the development of art has not changed. However, the emergence of deconstruction theory and the popularization of pop art have dismantled the humanistic feelings of this utopia. Therefore, "everyone is an artist" shows how confusing the contemporary saying is, and it is of course regarded as a classic saying by pop art theorists and told to the world.

Pop art can also be said to be popular art, and its idea is to break the boundary between art and life, or to sew up the historical gap between life and art according to pop artists. "Life is art" is another beautiful universal slogan. So, what stopped us from becoming artists?

Everyone can be an artist. Contemporary art has entered a post-era of anti-tradition, and anti-tradition also means technical and expressive problems in anti-traditional art, so don't be afraid that you haven't studied art. As long as you have inspiration or ideas, it doesn't matter what means you use to express them or how you express them. The key is to be in the name of art, so no matter what industry you studied before, as long as you are willing to go to art, you are an artist, and maybe you are really a talented artist.
