Pop Art

     The iconic power of the funky and unique characteristics of this artwork  better known as Pop Art,  is an inspiring style that has made an iconic impact amongst the design society for decades. It began as a movement in the 1950's in Britain and the United States, carrying a funky theme full of colorful techniques, influenced by television, pop icons, and comic books in the twentieth century. The image swept the youth and represented a sense of coolness.  It became a type of trend that inspired artists like Andy Warhol to break away from conventional art pieces. His electrifying take on icons like Marilyn Monroe fueled his success.  He gave his audience an overload of color and an image that contributed to our loud and imperfect society.  His work was created by using silk screen, and by ignoring  the imperfections of his prints. He embraced the unevenness  and grainy look that his tools made. "What they suggested was not the humanizing touch of the hand but the pervasiveness of routine error."  His design was not your typical trial and error, or method of repetition. Warhol embraced the imperfections of his work, therefore made an iconic name for himself. Maybe sometimes we just have to let go and come face to face with our flaws. Maybe then we can truly learn to design from within, rather then within the constraints of our design.
