Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol

I chose to look at Andy Warhol's work, for the simple fact that it fits in with the idea of propaganda. I like how simple it appears; and also that it'll be something possible to complete in photoshop. However, I feel that if I did it in this style, I may have to complete my final piece physically; as opposed to digitally.

The colours in Warhol's work are very simple, seeming to range from between 3-6 colours; excluding different shades of the same colours. Again, since my final piece may very much end up in the style of propaganda, Warhol's art is perfect to link into my work.

Pop art as a genre alone is typically comic book in appearance, and at times, propaganda like. Andy Warhol's works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and also advertisement.

These works flourished by the 1960's.

Once again, I feel this is a art style I'd be comfortable looking at; and pop art as a whole is a genre that can be completed digitally through photoshop and other means. I may experiment with this style a little later on once I have taken the photographs that are required. I may also talk about both Warhol and pop art once I have completed my photoshoots and moch ups; as well as experimentation.
