Pop Art – Exploring the Philosophy

Some artists believe that Pop Art is one of the highest expressions of art; that it resonates on a deeper, more pertinent psychic level than your average watercolor. It speaks volumes about who we are and the world we live in. My Pop Art realizes the power of Pop Art. And the importance that anyone has the ability to create it. Together, My Pop Art and you can create your own piece of work, distinctive and bold.

One British professor had this to say about Pop Art:

If we imagine the history of art as an arc of increasing sophistication- it’s zenith would be the painting of Campbell Soup. It is a painting of a painted image. A commercial item reflecting a commercial item and bringing this trend of painting fine goods to its logical conclusion- the Brand.

To the aesthetic relativists I say: under any system of aesthetic evaluation, one will be forced to admit that Pop Art is the highest expression of art, no matter what your system of value is, as Pop Art’s value transcends across all spectrums of value.

To the aesthetic objectivists I say: appeal to your aesthetic sense and you will come to an objective understanding of my position.

Do you know what he’s talking about? Me either. Well, I guess he’s saying something like this: Pop Art speaks to us all. It distances from the world in which we live in long enough to peer into its artistry, something we often overlook.

Look! Pop Art just made your brain hurt!
