Roy Lichtenstein, M-Maybe 1965

  


Lady Gaga, Artpop 2013

 


Pop art was a big movement in the 1960's art movement where artists like Andy Worhol and Roy Lichtenstein took popular images and/or sterotypes and turned them into fine art. The first image shown is Lichenstein's M-Maybe piece which depicts a vulnerable woman in the 60's who is awaiting a man like most of his art does. The other photo is Lady Gaga's album cover from her newest album, Artpop. The title of her album directly relates to this art movement from the 60's. Gaga also uses fine art images in the background of her album to give her listeners a feel for the theme of her album. Her use of colors on the album also gives this "pop art" feel because the pinks and blues pop out to the viewer.
