The Birth of Venus (me of course)
1984
Andy Warhol
This painting is the perfect example of the pop art movement basically Andy appropriated himself of the painting of me by Botticelli and just changed it the way he wanted!
He used strong and happy colors to paint it.
This work is a part of the movement against pre-established high and low art he used a painting that was considered a fine piece of art and made it almost common!
He mass produced it so everyone could have it blurring the line that separated unique and fine art from common expendable and accessible art!
It was a clear counter movement against Abstract Expressionism that searched for trauma in the soul, it wasn’t easy to define but pop art was! It was based on advertising, cartoons and popular images they were easier to assimilate by the bigger class that wasn’t part of the literate elite.
