Eduardo Paolozzi, I Was a Rich Man's Plaything, 1947. (Foundation, 2017)
By creating paintings or sculptures of media starts and popular culture objects the Pop Art movement aimed to blur the boundaries between high art and low art culture (Foundation, 2017). Pop art is easily one of the most recognizable art movements. It has been discussed that Abstract Exoressionism looked for "trauma in the soul" while Pop Art searches for traces of the same kind of trauma in the mediated world of advertising(contributors,2008). This Art work done by Eduardo Paolozzi exemplifies the slightly darker tone or British Pop Art, which reflected more upon the gap between the glamour and wealth visible in American pop culture and the economic difficulties of British reality (Foundation, 2017).
Sebastian Fritzon, Multiple, 2007, (contributors, 2017).
Sebastian Fritzon is a modern artist that specializes in pop art. is use of collage demonstrates the influence of Surrealist and Dadaist photomontage. Fritzon emphasized the the impact of technology and mass culture on high art (Foundation, 2017). The use of contrasting colors is what makes it contemporary. Giving it a look of hue and saturation editing is what makes it recognizable.
