1950s art styles

POP ART

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and
the United States during the mid- to late-1950s. The movement presented
a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery
from popular and mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and
mundane cultural objects.

One of its aims is to use images of popular (as opposed to elitist) culture in
art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often
through the use of irony. It is also associated with the artists' use of
mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques. In pop art,
material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, or
combined with unrelated material.

Abstract
Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a
composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual
references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to
the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and
an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. By the end of the 19th
century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would
encompass the fundamental changes taking place
in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual
artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the
social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that
time.

Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art.


This departure from accurate representation can be slight, partial, or
complete. Abstraction exists along a continuum. Even art that aims for
verisimilitude of the highest degree can be said to be abstract, at least
theoretically, since perfect representation is likely to be exceedingly
elusive. Artwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in
ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract.

Street Art
The birth of hip hop music in the late 1970s and its rising popularity throughout the 80s
gave black Americans a new medium to voice their concerns in the public arena. With
this came a number of fashion statements and styles, including a type of street art
known as graffiti art. A popular style in urban areas, graffiti artists use spray paint to
compose what are often large-scale pieces on the sides of buildings or other highly
visible areas. Street Art was introduced lately in India around 1990s.

Graffiti art has become a popular means of making a


statement through art.

Often associated with hip hop culture, graffiti art began as a visual means
of conveying the culture's larger messages about racism, poverty, and
oppression. Over time, the style has been embraced by wider audiences
and artists who continue to use the method as a means of making powerful
statements. For example, present day. In India these master pieces are
nowadays found at places with less population due to lack of interest of art
in today’s generation.

DOODLE
A doodle is a drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied.
Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or
may just be composed of random and abstract lines, generally without ever lifting
the drawing device from the paper, in which case it is usually called a "scribble".
Doodling and scribbling are most often associated with young children
and toddlers, because their lack of hand–eye coordination and lower mental
development often make it very difficult for any young child to keep their coloring
attempts within the line art of the subject. Despite this, it is not uncommon to see
such behavior with adults, in which case it is generally done jovially, out of
boredom.

Typical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the


margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class.[1] Other
common examples of doodling are produced during
long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.
Popular kinds of doodles include cartoon versions of teachers or companions in a
school, famous TV or comic characters, invented fictional beings, landscapes,
geometric shapes, patterns, textures, or phallic scenes.
