1950’ler sonrasında gelişim gösteren pop sanat natürmortları üzerinden bir sanat tarihi okuması

Abstract

Pop Art was first appeared in London Art Schools and then later it became a new movement of art in New York after 1950s. This movement, in which artists such as Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol, Roy Lithenstein, Tom Wesselman, Claes Oldenburg, David Hockney, and Jasper Johnes had created works in many different styles, came to the fore with the extraordinary “still life” pieces created under the effect of this movement. In this study, rather than examining Pop Art as only an art movement, we aimed to examine the still life works of the artists of this movement from the perspective of the history of art literature, and to define their contributions to today’s art. The Pop Art still lifes are important as they form the foundation of the graphic design techniques that are still practiced today. The combination of the daily used materials with art, which turned into a platform where ordinary items have gained value as art pieces, has been a critical juncture in history of art. For the study, we examined this genre over the 350 samples we selected from the works of artists who produced their art pieces under the influence of pop art, and interpreted a small selection of these samples from the aspect of today’s art literature.
