POP ART STYLE

Perhaps one of the most influential contemporary art movements, Pop art emerged in the 1950s. In stark contrast to traditional artistic practice, its practitioners drew on imagery from popular culture — comic books, advertising, product packaging and other commercial media — to create original Pop art paintings, prints and sculptures that celebrated ordinary life in the most literal way.

ORIGINS OF POP ART

CHARACTERISTICS OF POP ART 

  • Bold imagery
  • Bright, vivid colors
  • Straightforward concepts
  • Engagement with popular culture 
  • Incorporation of everyday objects from advertisements, cartoons, comic books and other popular mass media

POP ARTISTS TO KNOW

ORIGINAL POP ART ON 1STDIBS

The Pop art movement started in the United Kingdom as a reaction, both positive and critical, to the period’s consumerism. Its goal was to put popular culture on the same level as so-called high culture.

Richard Hamilton’s 1956 collage Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? is widely believed to have kickstarted this unconventional new style.

Pop art works are distinguished by their bold imagery, bright colors and seemingly commonplace subject matter. Practitioners sought to challenge the status quo, breaking with the perceived elitism of the previously dominant Abstract Expressionism and making statements about current events. Other key characteristics of Pop art include appropriation of imagery and techniques from popular and commercial culture; use of different media and formats; repetition in imagery and iconography; incorporation of mundane objects from advertisements, cartoons and other popular media; hard edges; and ironic and witty treatment of subject matter.

Although British artists launched the movement, they were soon overshadowed by their American counterparts. Pop art is perhaps most closely identified with American Pop artist Andy Warhol, whose clever appropriation of motifs and images helped to transform the artistic style into a lifestyle. Most of the best-known American artists associated with Pop art started in commercial art (Warhol made whimsical drawings as a hobby during his early years as a commercial illustrator), a background that helped them in merging high and popular culture.

Roy Lichtenstein was another prominent Pop artist that was active in the United States. Much like Warhol, Lichtenstein drew his subjects from print media, particularly comic strips, producing paintings and sculptures characterized by primary colors, bold outlines and halftone dots, elements appropriated from commercial printing. Recontextualizing a lowbrow image by importing it into a fine-art context was a trademark of his style. Neo-Pop artists like Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami further blurred the line between art and popular culture.

Pop art rose to prominence largely through the work of a handful of men creating works that were unemotional and distanced — in other words, stereotypically masculine. However, there were many important female Pop artists, such as Rosalyn Drexler, whose significant contributions to the movement are recognized today. Best known for her work as a playwright and novelist, Drexler also created paintings and collages embodying Pop art themes and stylistic features.

Abstract 3D Wall Hanging Sculpture Brad Howe LA Artist Laser Cut Steel Pop Art
Located in Surfside, FL
Letters and numbers cut from a sheet of brushed steel. Hand signed and dated Brad Howe (born 1959) is an American sculptor from California. His work has been exhibited domestically and internationally. This is done in a bold and colorful Pop Art style reminiscent of the work of the Memphis Milano Group. Brad Howe was born in 1959 in Riverside, California. As a student of International Relations at Stanford University, Howe attended the University of São Paulo to specialize in Literature and Economic History. It was there that he discovered his passion for art and architecture that would eventually lead to his first exhibitions. He started his career as a sculptor in Brazil, using stainless steel, aluminum and polyurethane. He credits sculptor Alexander Calder as an early influence in his work. Since then, he has exhibited in over eighteen countries worldwide and his works have been placed in collections in more than 32 countries, including Brazil, Mexico, France, Germany, South Korea and United States. His work can also be found at various universities including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, Temple University in Philadelphia, and UCLA. Monumental and Public Art have become a major focus of his career. Over the past ten years, he has completed over 30 public projects in 7 different countries. One of his sculptures can be seen in the city of Palo Alto, California. Moreover, as part of the Beverly Hills Centennial Arts of Palm Installation, he designed four sculptures outside the Beverly Hills City Hall, on North Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills, California. The Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento, California), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Lancaster Museum of Art and History (Lancaster, California), and the Pasadena Museum of California Art (Pasadena, California) are among the museums holding work by Brad Howe. His work was included in the Arts of Palm exhibition in Beverly Hills, palm trees by prominent artists including Brad Howe, Michael McMillen, Mike Stilkey, Peter Shire, Peter Alexander and Ryan Schmidt. His studio is actively completing site-specific commissions and installations for cities, universities, museums, and private corporations. Brad Howe also actively participates in group gallery shows with smaller works that serve as models, or maquettes, for his large-scale pieces.

Raymond Pettibon Captive Chains 1978 (early Raymond Pettibon)
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Raymond Pettibon Captive Chains, 1978: Featured in its entirety at The New Museum in New York, Pettibon's well documented first artist book is widely regarded as a seminal piece in the development of the artist's style and themes. Offset printed. 68 pages. 7.25 x 10.5 inches (26.6 x 18.4 cm). Good to very good overall vintage condition; normal signs of aging commensurate with medium. Published by Black Flag's label SST Productions in 1978. Literature/References: Raymond Pettibon: the Books 1978-1998 (New York: D.A.P. c. 2000). Raymond Pettibon: Homo Americanus (David Zwirner Books). Raymond Pettibon: A Pen of All Work (Massimialiano Gioni 2017). Exhibited: Raymond Pettibon, A Pen of All Work, The New Museum 2017 More on Raymond Pettibon: Raymond Pettibon is a contemporary American artist known for his stylized ink drawings combining images and text. His inventive narratives blend historical content with consumer culture to yield incisive critiques of contemporary society. “I was making my work as transparent as possible, without equivocations, without calling attention to itself, without apology,” he explained. “There's a lot of conventions in the art world that are not to be transgressed, but my economy of means doesn't abide by those strictures.” Born Raymond Ginn on June 16, 1957 in Tucson, AZ, the artist is self-taught, but cites drawings by William Blake, Edward Hopper, Francisco Goya, and John Sloan as instructive to his practice. Deriving inspiration from comics, cartoons, and other pop culture iconography, Pettibon began designing album covers and ephemera for his brother’s band Black Flag in the mid-1970s. He went on to produce cover art for Sonic Youth, the Minutemen...

JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT - Horn Players, 1983 Skate Decks Pop Urban Art Design
Located in Madrid, Madrid
Jean-Michel Basquiat - Horn Players, 1983 Date of creation: 2024 Medium: Digital print on Canadian maple wood Edition: Open Size: 80 x 20 cm (each skate) Condition: In mint conditions and never displayed This triptych is formed by three skate decks made of 7 ply grade A Canadian maple wood. © Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Licensed by Artestar, New York "Horn Players" (1983) is one of Jean-Michel Basquiat's most famous works, and a great example of his unique style, which blends graffiti, pop art, and expressionist painting. In this piece, Basquiat depicts two jazz musicians, probably inspired by legends like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. The figures are stylized with exaggerated features, something typical of his work. The painting is dominated by vibrant colors like yellow, red, and blue, with a background full of marks and strokes that give the sense of movement, as if you were hearing the music the characters are playing. Basquiat also incorporates text, such as the words “SAX” and “BIRD” (referring to Charlie "Bird" Parker), which not only provide more information about the characters but also add an extra layer of meaning, creating a connection between the music, the words, and the image. The piece can be interpreted as a tribute to African American culture and its impact on music, especially jazz, which was born in that community. But it also reflects deeper themes of identity, as the musicians are not just represented physically but also symbolically, through the music and the words surrounding them. Basquiat, who often explored themes of race, power, violence, and inequality, uses this work to highlight how jazz serves as a form of expression and resistance for Black culture. In 1983, when Basquiat created "Horn Players", he was already at the peak of his career. He had gained significant recognition in New York, and his work was widely acknowledged in the contemporary art world. This painting is part of a series where he pays homage to musicians and the history of jazz, a recurring theme in his work. Additionally, there’s an interesting connection between Basquiat’s art and the world of skateboarding. Skateboarding, much like Basquiat’s art, is defined by its rebellious spirit, its focus on urban culture, and its drive for self-expression. Basquiat's graffiti-style brushstrokes, with their raw energy, evoke the same defiant attitude seen in skateboarding culture, where skaters, much like artists, break free from established norms and create something unique. The influence of graffiti, which is central to skateboarding’s aesthetic, is also present in Basquiat’s works, forming a natural link between these two worlds of rebellion and creativity. "Horn Players" is a representative piece of Basquiat because it captures his vibrant style, his love for cultural references, and his ability to blend visual art with music. Moreover, it’s a work that celebrates Black culture, rebellion, and creative energy—values that also strongly resonate in the world of skateboarding. All of this showcases Basquiat’s mastery in merging different forms of artistic expression, connecting music, urban art, and the culture of resistance in a powerful work. ABOUT THE ARTIST Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, famous for his ability to fuse urban culture, social criticism and art history into a unique style. Born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Haitian father and Puerto Rican mother, his life and work were shaped by his multicultural heritage, the New York art scene and the social tensions of his time. Although his career was brief, his impact on contemporary art has been lasting and significant. Basquiat showed an interest in art from an early age. His mother, Matilde Andrades, took him to museums and encouraged him to draw. At the age of seven, a car accident left him hospitalized for a time, and it was then that his mother gave him a copy of the anatomy book Gray's Anatomy, which influenced his fascination with the human body and its visual representation. Despite his early talent, Basquiat's family life was turbulent. His mother was hospitalized for psychiatric problems and his relationship with his father, Gerard Basquiat, was troubled. This instability contributed to Basquiat dropping out of school at age 17 to pursue his artistic career on the streets of New York. As a teenager, Basquiat joined the New York graffiti scene under the pseudonym SAMO (an acronym for "Same Old Shit"), which he used to sign his cryptic and poetic messages on the streets of Manhattan with his friend Al Diaz. SAMO's graffiti were a mixture of philosophical and social commentary on popular culture, capitalism and religion, and soon attracted the attention of the underground art scene. In 1980, SAMO "died" when Basquiat and Diaz decided to end their collaboration, marking the beginning of Basquiat's transition from street graffiti to art galleries. Basquiat emerged as a talent to watch in 1980, when he participated in the group exhibition The Times Square Show, which included other emerging artists from New York's Lower East Side scene. That same year, he attracted the attention of critics and collectors who saw in his work an electrifying blend of street art and neo-expressionism, the predominant movement of the time. In 1981, art critic René Ricard published the influential essay The Radiant Child in Artforum magazine, which positioned Basquiat as one of the most promising artists of his generation. Shortly thereafter, he met renowned artist Andy Warhol, with whom he formed a close friendship and significant artistic collaboration. This association was instrumental in catapulting his career into the world of high art. The collaboration with Warhol was a pivotal point in Basquiat's career. The two artists, although coming from very different worlds, shared a fascination with fame and popular culture. Together, they produced a series of works that combined Warhol's pop art icons with Basquiat's raw, spontaneous style. However, this collaboration was also a source of controversy. Many critics accused Warhol of "exploiting" Basquiat, while others saw the collaboration as a creative dialogue between two genius minds. Although the criticism was mixed, there is no doubt that the relationship between the two artists helped cement Basquiat's reputation in the art world. Basquiat's style is a unique amalgam of influences. His work is characterized by the use of dismembered human figures, skeletons and internal organs, evoking the fragility of the body and mortality. Basquiat also used symbols that alluded to African-American and African history, such as crowns, masks and references to historical figures such as Toussaint Louverture. The use of text is another crucial aspect of his work. Words, phrases and numbers appeared in his paintings, often crossed out or overlapped, creating a sense of controlled chaos. These fragmented words provoked a non-linear reading of his works and conveyed multiple layers of meaning. His art also reflected his concerns about racial issues, especially the place of people of African descent in Western art history and in society at large. The crowns that Basquiat often drew on his figures were a symbol of power and resistance, a way of proclaiming himself "king" in a world that had historically excluded black artists from the upper echelons of art. In works such as The Death of Michael Stewart...
