Abstract
Culture replaced nature as the subject matter for many artists in the 20th century. Modern art has had to survive against an overwhelming flood of other messages from print, radio, advertising, photography and television. The best known event, in this context, was pop art. Artists had long been fascinated with ads, posters, dime novels and signs - the emblems of mass produced consciousness, of speedy transmission of blatant meaning. The cubists inserted pop material into their paintings as did the Dadaists and the Surrealists. Stuart Davis was inspired by jazz, the bright lights of Broadway and the brash signage of the American cityscape in the '30s. The flood gates really opened in the 1950s with the advent of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Media provided new material and subjects for Warhol, Lichtenstein, Rosenquist and Oldenburg. Join Robert Hughes as he presents the concepts of Pop Art, American Pop Art, Cubism, Dadaists, Dadaism, Surrealism and Surrealists, as well as artists Stuart Davis, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Oldenburg, and Richard Hamilton. This series is Robert Hughes' history of Modern Art from Cubism to Pop and the Avant-Garde.
