Andy Warhol worked as a commercial artist until 1960 when he began experimenting with advertising images. He worked until his untimely death in 1987. Andy Warhol's interest in the lives of these famous women inspired several repeated images. Photographs are blown up and developed onto silk screens; they are transferred to paper and canvas, using ink and paint. Andy Warhol saw the repeated silk screen images as a way to make money. Warhol begins to photograph his friends; soon he is filming them also, shooting about 100 films. He begins adding paint to his silk screened images. Warhol produced dozens of self-portraits. As an art journalist his work addresses race riots, the conquest of the moon, the Cultural Revolution in China, and the universal reign of the dollar.
Art Expressionism:
By using Franz Kline's painting "C&O," abstract art is compared to figurative art. The filled space of the canvas is distinctively different in these two styles. Kline initially injects his work with mood and expression but moves towards painting colors in undefined space thus sparking the imagination with a sensual impact. Klines uses shapes that evoke emotions. Kline's use of action painting reveals a process of constant discovery and leads us into a world of color and form. "Mountains and Sea" causes her to emerge on the artistic scene and influences a generation of artists. There is a fundamental change in the way we look at a picture from her strength of vision. Frankenthaler's work is both feminine and mystical and induces a contemplative mood. An observer experiences a warming and exhilarating sense of fruitfulness in her work. "Morning: The Springs" expresses movement as an echo of sensations and is evocative of plant forms, light, and falling water. It is a momentary gift of light with a calligraphic quality. In 1952 De Koonig makes his name with "Woman One." By embracing a passionate and instinctive approach to painting, he becomes an instant talisman of "action painting." John's paintings undermine our assumptions and make us think. He seeks to make his common subjects visually seductive and to deceive our senses as a coherent system of information. By using blobs, drips and layers, pattern dominates Johns' work. The observer takes in the layers and yet sees the whole and moves from an impersonal to personal experience of his paintings. In the 1960s Andy Warhol is pop art's most famous son. This is never a very clear movement but is the first 20th Century art movement since Futurism to embrace the rhythms of city life. Both Warhol and Rauschenber become art icons of the 60s by paving the way for pop artists in their use of everyday objects. "Girl With Hair Ribbon" juggles the notions of representation and abstraction. The closer one looks the less the image is apparent and the details take on a life of their own. Lichtenstein treats style as something to be chosen according to the job, but he also concentrates on themes that stir emotions and passions
