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 con

3、sidered 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 of the Abstract Expressionist movement took themselves very serious. They did not approve of pop

4、ular 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. Pop Art also reflected the rise in wealth and t

6、ols 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 popular food companies, Campbells. Every painting looked the same except for the words written on the c

7、an 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

8、 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 reproduction permitted the artist to make many images very quickly. He would often repeat the same pict

9、ure 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

10、 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 singer Elvis Presley. Warhol was very interested in fame. He celebrated famous peo

It showed a filmed image of the Empire State Building in New York City. The film was eight hours long. In

14、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 o

15、ne 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 was able to interview the kinds of people he liked best, famous people. A colorful drawing of a fam

Valerie Solanas was angry with Warhol for not making a movie based on a play she wrote. The bullet from the gu

17、n 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. In the nineteen seventies he made millions of dollars painting peoples portraits. Wealthy peopl

18、e 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.

19、ntinued 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.
