Overview
The turn of the twentieth century paved ways for artists to find new mediums and styles to depict their strong message. Messages ranged from political hatred, to biblical stories, to perceptions of women. These messages were not subtle. The artist made sure the viewer did not misinterpret the meaning or miss it all together.
Artists
Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S. He attended university at Carnegie Mellon. He is well known for his printmaking, painting, photography, and cinema works. He is the leading figure of the visual art movement (pop art). His most famous pop art pieces include Marilyn Diptych and Mao Tse Tung (seen below). Marlin Diptych shows 50 images of Marilyn Monroe from the movie Niagara. The brightly colored left side depicts here life as a vibrant young actress. Throughout history, the left side has been associated with feminism and creativity so it is only fitting the left side of the painting portrays her life. The right side of the painting shows her death. Mao Tse Tung represents Warhol's artistic style being applied to address the cult personality surrounding the leader.
Viktor Pivovarov
Viktor Pivovarov (1937-Present) was born in Moscow, Russia. He is a children's book illustrator and artist. He is known to be a leading artist in the Moscow Conceptualist artistic movement during the 1960's. His work showed the soviet lifestyle and often showed criticism and nostalgia towards it. The paintings shown below are from a collection called 'Apartment 22'. The paintings show the everyday experience of enforced communal living and reflect the boredom, loneliness, and violence not shown in official portrayals of Soviet life.
