7 Elvis I and II by andy Warhol (1963) silkscreen ink and spraypaint on linen
Pioneered the use of silkscreen in fine art and has assistants (the Factory) to assist with output Chose subject matter from everyday life and popular culture: often movie and music icons as well as famous political figures Meant to imitate / mimic the commercial nature of society from the 1950’s onwards – mass production, packaging, advertising, etc.

8 Whamm! Roy Lichtenstein (1963) Oil on canvas
Subject matter: comics derived paintings, in direct contrast to abstract art of the 1950’s Images were stereotypical and therefore familiar to the viewer (not usually in such a large scale) Painted in oils but used commercial printing method: Benday dots

9 Shoestring Potatoes Falling out of a Bag by Claes Oldenburg (1966) Mixed Media
Create large-scale 3-dimensional recreations of ordinary objects, out of unusual materials Played with gravity and soft materials to “give the object back its power” and to shock Created various witty public monuments (eg. spoon bridge)
