Document Summary
Piecing together a variety of different things. Trying to erase the hierarchy of high art vs. low art. Most famous work of the exhibition was its poster, not actually in the exhibition. The van gogh can be the same as the oversized image of robbie the robot. E. g. a graphic novel and a classic literary novel. The result of a wound that occurred in the second world war. Trends don"t last long in pop culture. Pop art could typically record the change long before high art could. Because pop art is largely consumer driven, any change goes through the system very rapidly. Constructed out of black and white photographs. Not meant to survive past its time. Another exhibition put on by the independent group. A large variety of objects transformed into photographs. To have you question everything you believe in. Kind of making people realize that what they were desperately holding onto wasn"t.
