What Is Pop Art?

By Donald Stoneman


There was no more exciting time than the 50s when America was moving into a more free and open-minded age. The 50s Pinup Girls encompass this in some of the most amazing photography and art of the times. I believe a key personality behind this evolution of style was Gil Elvgren, who during his life-time produced over five hundred paintings of Pin-up Dolls, which were turned into calendars, swap cards and of course - posters, Thus, leading to the name "Pin-up" and the ideal Pin-up Doll.

It also represented rebel and being different. For a two decade interval earlier than the pop artwork motion, summary art dominated the art world, with New York City as its center. Although summary artwork was an effectively favored artwork kind, it offered itself with an air of sophistication that made it inaccessible to the masses.

A key event to the Pin up development (and perhaps the most important) was World War II, which saw fighter pilots painting Pin-up models on the side of their Jets as they became a growing symbol of the American identity.

The superior aesthetic qualities apart the opposite aspect of that recognized with audiences was its use of on a regular basis items, pictures and icons to emphasize and redefine certain parts in our culture. Take a look at Razaaa in Black Light

Moreover, to come up with artworks, there must be an interaction between three integral components: medium, technique, and elements. Medium is defined as the physical materials used to make an artwork. Technique on the other hand is the process or the procedure. As for elements, they are the abstract components in art. They are the lines, rhythm, color, space, and similar things.

I have collected 50s pinup girls art for a very long time. There is nothing more fun than immersing yourself in this awesome period in time and this cool genre. It is the class and tastefulness of the posters and prints of this decade that is so alluring.

Rita Hayworth was one of the most beautiful and chic of the women of the 50s pinup girls. She was the type that you could not take your eyes off of when she would see her displayed in a work of pin up art. The 1960s was the decline of pinup art and produced much trash that has corrupted the genre, but none so much as to bring a bad light to the gorgeous Rita Hayworth.

Until this present day the Warhol pop artwork model and the Lichtenstein pop artwork style are the 2 dominant kinds emulated by artists all around the world.

The days of this classy style of pin up art are gone so I do everything I can to collect what tasteful pinup art I can before it is all vanished. Check out this rare beautiful pinup Gypsy Razaaa
