Pop Art
• It is a passive conception of the social reality. • It does not express the creativity of the popular
classes but their non-creativity. • The origin of the movement is in
– Rauschenberg and
– Jasper Johns,
who are considered as Neo-Dadaists. • Painting becomes again something that evokes.

Pop Art
• The mere fact of taking a real object and to put it in the painting is an instinctive manipulation of reality.
• Given that it is a urban art the images end capsized in the painting, unite to the matter or giving a phantom appearance.
• These artists, the same as the Dadaists before, take elements from the reality and incorporate them to the work of art.
• We can find glued elements or photos mix with the painting.

Pop Art• The language is that of the publicity, very easy to
understand. • One of the most famous representatives of the movement is
Warhol, to whom we can add – Rosenquists, with his elements taken of daily life; – Tom Wesselman, who incorporates other elements so that we can
find ourselves in front of installations; – Roy Lichtenstein, who portrays the world as in a comic;– Claes Oldenburg, who makes enormous sculptures of daily use
objects; – Christo, famous because his wrappings of buildings or natural
elements and his installations.

Op Art
• Optical Art was born in the 1950’s. • It is a method of painting concerning the
interaction between illusion and picture plane, between understanding and seeing.
• Op art is a perceptual experience related to how vision functions.
• It is a dynamic visual art, stemming from a discordant figure-ground relationship that causes the two planes to be in a tense and contradictory juxtaposition.

Op Art
• Op Art is created in two primary ways:– The first, and best known method, is the creation of
effects through the use of pattern and line. Often these paintings are black and white, or otherwise grisaille.
– The works are based on the repetition of some elements, mainly lineal, or simple geometric forms and through the colour give to them the appearance of having a third dimension or of being in movement.
• One of the most famous artist related to this movement is Vasarely.

Kinetic Art• Kinetic art is art that contains moving parts or depends
on motion for its effect. • The moving parts are generally powered by wind, a
motor or the observer. • The term kinetic sculpture refers to a class of art made
primarily from the late 1950s through 1960s. Kinetic art was first recorded by the sculptors Gabo and Pevsner.
• The American Alexander Calder invented the mobile, consisting of a delicately balanced wire armature from which sculptural elements are suspended.

Kinetic Art• In common with other types of kinetic art, kinetic
sculptures have parts that move or that are in motion. • The motion of the work can be provided in many ways:
– mechanically through electricity, steam or clockwork; – by utilizing natural phenomena such as wind or wave power; – or by relying on the spectator to provide the motion, by doing
something such as cranking a handle.
• Kinetic art encompasses a wide variety of overlapping techniques and styles.

Graffiti
• It began in the 1970’s.• It is a type of deliberate marking on property that
can take the form of pictures, drawings, words or any decorations inscribed on any surface outside walls and sidewalks.
• Even if graffiti have always existed, young New Yorkers belonging to the black and Puerto Rican communities started adopting tags (signatures made with aerosol sprays).
![Page 15: Last Trends in Art](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/555b02b2d8b42ae0418b4936/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Graffiti
• The first modern identified tagged in New York was Taki, a Greek-American artist.
• At the same time, the graphs also made their appearance.
• These were real urban frescoes painted with spray-paint.
• Futura 2000, Dust and Pink were recognised although their celebrity was limited to the hip-hop culture.

Graffiti• Basquiat and Haring started to work in the street and
the subway but their work was renowned and reputed. • They won instant critical acclaim and attracted the
attention of influential art dealers.• The difference between tagging and graffiti is not
clear:– tagging is gang-motivated and meant as vandalism or
viewed as too vulgar or controversial to have public value, – graffiti can be viewed as creative expression, whether
charged with political meaning or not.

Land Art
• It is an art movement which emerged in America in the late 1960 and early 1970s, in which landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked.
• Sculptures are not placed in the landscape; rather the landscape is the very means of their creation.
• The works frequently exist in the open, located well away from civilization, left to change and erosion under natural conditions.

Land Art
• Many of the first works, created in the deserts of Nevada, New Mexico, Utah or Arizona were ephemeral in nature and now only exist as video recordings or photographic documents.
• Artist belonging to this group are:– De Maria, – Heizer and– Goldsworthy

Arte Povera• The term 'Arte Povera' was introduced in 1967. • It provided a collective identity for a number of young
Italian artists. • They were working in radically new ways, breaking with
the past and entering a challenging dialogue with trends in Europe and America.
• As the Italian miracle of the post-war years collapsed into a chaos of economic and political instability, Arte Povera erupted from within a network of urban cultural activity.
• Arte Povera described a process of open-ended experimentation.
![Page 22: Last Trends in Art](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/555b02b2d8b42ae0418b4936/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Arte Povera
• In the wake of the iconoclastic artistic innovations of Italian precursors – Lucio Fontana and – Piero Manzoni,
artists were able to begin from a zero point, working outside formal limitations.
• Arte Povera therefore denotes not an impoverished art, but an art made without restraints, a laboratory situation in which a theoretical basis was rejected in favour of a complete openness towards materials and processes.

Arte Povera• Working ways:
– painted,– sculpted, – took photographs and – made performances and installations,
• Works:– immense physical presence – small-scale, ephemeral gestures.
• Materials: – ancient and modern, – man-made and 'raw', revealing the elemental forces locked within them as
well as the fields of energy that surround us. • Members of this group are Anselmo, Pistoletto and Metz

Minimalism
• Minimal Art emerged as a movement in the 1950s and continued through the Sixties and Seventies.
• It is a term used to describe paintings and sculpture that thrive on simplicity in both content and form, and seek to remove any sign of personal expressivities.
• The aim of Minimalism is to allow the viewer to experience the work more intensely without the distractions of composition, theme and so on.
![Page 26: Last Trends in Art](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/555b02b2d8b42ae0418b4936/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Minimalism
• From the 1920s artists such as Malevich and Duchamp produced works in the Minimalist vein.
• The movement is known chiefly by its American exponents such as– Dan Flavin, – Carl Andre, – Ellsworth Kelly and – Donald Judd
who reacted against Abstract Expressionism in their stark canvases, sculptures and installations.

Minimalism• Minimal Art is related to a number of other movements
such as:– Conceptual Art in the way the finished work exists merely to
convey a theory,– Pop Art in their shared fascination with the impersonal – and Land Art in the construction of simple shapes.
• Minimal Art proved highly successful and has been enormously influential on the development of art in the 20th century.
• Representative artists are:– Frank Stella and – Ellsword Kelly .
