Pop artists rejected the serious nature of the art world
3、. 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 Pop Art was a reaction to Abstract Expressionism. Artists
4、 of the Abstract Expressionist 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
5、and mass production as an influence in their art. Pop Art also reflected the rise in wealth and the importance of owning things that America 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. Fro
6、m the introduction of him, we can see what proposals a pop art holds for his/her art. One of Warhols 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 of Americas most popula
7、r food companies, Campbells. 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 mad
8、e the soup cans. No one had ever seen art like this. Warhol also made paintings using images such as Coca Cola 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 reprod
9、uction 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 call
10、ed 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
11、Monroe and the singer Elvis 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. War
12、hol 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 sh
13、y 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
14、 a filmed image of the Empire State Building in New York City. 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
15、 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 Warhols projects was the creation of “Interview“ magazine. This magazine covered many kinds of American popular culture. Andy Warhol wa
16、s able to interview the kinds of people he liked best, famous people. A colorful drawing of a famous person was on the cover of every issue of the magazine. The image was drawn in the style of Warhols paintings. In 1968, Andy Warhol was shot by a woman who had been in one of his films. Valerie Solan
17、as was angry with Warhol for not making a movie based on a play she wrote. The bullet from the gun hit several of Warhols organs and almost killed him. The medias reaction to this event made him even more famous. Even though he worked on many other projects, Andy Warhol always kept producing artwork
18、. In the nineteen seventies he made millions of dollars painting peoples portraits. Wealthy people all over the world paid a great deal of money to have him paint their pictures. In the 1980s, Warhol worked with several younger artists. They included Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Warhol als
19、o wrote several books and created two cable television programs. Warhols art would have surely continued in many new directions. But he died as a result of problems after a minor operation in nineteen eighty-seven. He was fifty-eight years old. At his death, Warhols total estimated worth was more th
20、an one hundred million dollars. Most of this money helped create the Andy Warhol Foundation which helps support the visual arts. In 1994, the Andy Warhol Museum opened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This museum is in a large industrial building. As you walk up the seven floors of the museum, you can s
21、ee more than five hundred works of art by Warhol. The museum has pieces from every period of his career. On the fifth floor there is a special exhibit called Silver Clouds. This room is based on an art gallery show that Warhol designed in 1966. The room is filled with many silver colored balloons th
22、at are square shaped. The balloons contain helium and oxygen so that they float around with the air currents. Warhols idea was to create a joyful and magical room in which the artwork moved around the visitors. Andy Warhol helped change the way the world defined modern art. His colorful Pop Art imag

Do Americans have the capacity and vision to remove these structural barriers that deny democratic rights and opportunities to millions of their fellow citizens? This country has pre
42、viously witnessed two great struggles to achieve a truly multicultural democracy. The First Reconstruction (1865-1877) ended slavery and briefly gave black men voting rights, but gave no meaningful compensation for two centuries of unpaid labor. The promise of “40 acres and a mule (骡子)”was for most
43、blacks a dream deferred (尚未实现的). The Second Reconstruction (1954-1968), or the modern civil rights movement, ended legal segregation in public accommodations and gave blacks voting rights . But these successes paradoxically obscure the tremendous human costs of historically accumulated disadvantage
44、that remain central to black Americans lives. The disproportionate wealth that most whites enjoy today was first constructed from centuries of unpaid black labor. Many white institutions, including some leading universities, insurance companies and banks, profited from slavery. This pattern of white
