Clearly, there can be no one who honestly believes that people do not need the right to know if the food they are buying for themselves and their families has been genetically modified. There are many, however, who do not want the consumer to know what has been genetically modified. There is only one reason to stand against the…

Two of the most unique and influential new art movements of the twentieth century were pop art and abstract expressionism. While they both emerged roughly ten years apart, in the 1950’s and the 1940’s respectively; on the surface they’re two vastly different though, in reality they are more alike than they may seem. Abstract expressionism is what most would think of when they hear the words “abstract art.” When you first look at a work of abstract expressionism there seems to be no…

very similar outlooks on art to Duchamp. You get a sense of Duchamp’s influence on the artists just by looking at their works. For example, Andy Warhol’s representation of a bowl of Campbell’s Soup, which is often compared to the urinal in the sense that it is a mundane object. “You cannot look at a can of Campbell’s Soup in any grocery store and not think of Warhol…Any man standing in front of a urinal will think of Duchamp” (Carnegie Museums, 2016). Their works have been displayed in art…

Born in Pittsburgh in August 6, 1928. Andy Warhol discovered many things, for one pop art. But before he knew he was good at it, he was diagnosed with sydenham’s chorea.

Pop art was also a way to create a theoretical bridge between the higher level of culture and stature of art and the lower.

Dada and pop art were both considered art movements that were both ways to rebel against the current social situation. This was the situation as both Dada and Pop…

desensitizing the audience’s reaction in comparison to their initial response. His choice to only print the image twice rather than several times as he had done in Campbell’s Soup Cans could be due to the gruesome content being printed.
