Pop Art: A
form of art that depicts objects or scenes from everyday life and employs
techniques of commercial art and popular illustration. So says the
dictionary, but what this definition cannot express is the skill and passion that
goes into our pop art paintings. We
choose only subjects we admire, or that fascinate and challenge the artist in
the creation of original pop art
paintings of the highest possible
quality. Our works are not available
on the High Street, ensuring exclusivity
in purchasing directly from the artist – and a saving of at least 50%
on art gallery prices! Each and every
painting for sale in each gallery on poparttogo.com is unique, so you are buying a
genuine piece of beautiful original art. Each work is hand-painted in
acrylics on canvas and sealed with a dead flat matte varnish for a contemporary
finish. There is no digital printing whatsoever involved in the loving creation
of our pop art paintings – just
talent, imagination and a steady hand! We currently present
three pop art galleries
for your perusal and pleasure. Each contains a range of original pop art paintings to enhance any home, workplace or other
suitable location; and we are confident you will both like what you see and also
view our work as true investments at
superb prices. If you do not find a
subject of interest, you can by all means commission a custom
work from poparttogo.com. You let us know what you want; we will create
it for you! We are very
particular about the high standard of
service we offer, so whether you are buying a painting for sale from one of
our pop art galleries or commissioning a
special work from us, your total satisfaction is extremely important to us. So if you are
not completely delighted with your painting after delivery, we offer you a full
money back guarantee! A little about the Pop Art Movement: "The term first appeared in Britain during the 1950s and referred to the interest of a number of artists in the images of mass media, advertising, comics and consumer products. The 1950s were a period of optimism in Britain following the end of war-time rationing, and a consumer boom took place. Influenced by the art seen in Eduardo Paolozzi's 1953 exhibition Parallel between Art and Life at the Institute for Contemporary Arts, and by American artists such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, British artists such as Richard Hamilton and the Independent Group aimed at broadening taste into more popular, less academic art. Hamilton helped organize the 'Man, Machine, and Motion' exhibition in 1955, and 'This is Tomorrow' with its landmark image Just What is it that makes today's home so different, so appealing? (1956). Pop Art therefore coincided with the youth and pop music phenomenon of the 1950s and '60s, and became very much a part of the image of fashionable, 'swinging' London. Peter Blake, for example, designed album covers for Elvis Presley and the Beatles and placed film stars such as Brigitte Bardot in his pictures in the same way that Warhol was immortalizing Marilyn Monroe in the USA. Pop art came in a number of waves, but all its adherents - Joe Trilson, Richard Smith, Peter Phillips, David Hockney and R.B. Kitaj - shared some interest in the urban, consumer, modern experience."
