Andy Warhol

Arts can be separated into different branches and Hap in the story prefers realistic art. Hap in “The Soul of Capitalism” by Robert Collins would likely appreciate Warhol’s art mentioned in “When Canada Met Andy” by Nancy Tousley on a superficial level, but not the abstract message.

the image. Many say he was the first artist during this time to use this technique. Even though he was a well-known Pop Artist, he never saw himself that way. Rosenquist stated that, “What united us [by which he meant other “Pop artists” such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg] you might say, was dread of the drip, the splash, the schmear, combined with an ironic attitude toward the banalities of American consumer culture. If anything, you might say we were anti-pop…
