Pop Art Quotes

As far as I’m concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line Picture Quote #1

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself Picture Quote #1

Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s Picture Quote #1

Pop Art is industrial painting. I think the meaning of my work is that it is industrial, it’s what all the world will soon become. Europe will be the same way, soon, it won’t be American; it will be universal Picture Quote #1

I was particularly proud of my performance as the Joker. I considered it a piece of pop art Picture Quote #1

Pop art is a way of liking things Picture Quote #1

Warhol and other Pop artists had brought the art religion of art for art’s sake to an end. If art was only business, then rock expressed that transcendental, religious yearning for communal, nonmarket esthetic feeling that official art denied. For a time during the seventies, rock culture became the religion of the avant-garde art world Picture Quote #1

I’m not interested in pop art Picture Quote #1

Maybe we didn’t even have a chance. The message of American Pop Art was so powerful and so optimistic. But it was also very limited, and that led us to believe that we could somehow distance ourselves from it and communicate a different intention Picture Quote #1

I first came up with the idea for the colour-chart pictures back in 1966, and my preoccupation with the topic culminated in 1974 with a painting that consisted of 4,096 colour fields. Initially I was attracted by the typical Pop Art aestheticism of using standard colour-sample cards; I preferred the unartistic, tasteful and secular illustration of the different tones to the paintings of Albers, Bill, Calderara, Lohse, etc Picture Quote #1

I’m kind of a pop balladeer because I love the art of storytelling. I call myself ‘HBO for the ears’ I sing little movies Picture Quote #1

Pop art is for everyone Picture Quote #1

I see no reason why the artistic world can’t absolutely merge with Madison Avenue. Pop art is a move in that direction. Why can’t we have advertisements with beautiful words and beautiful images? Picture Quote #1

I then discovered the Pop Art of Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Peter Max. I was inspired that these fun and colourful images could be presented seriously on canvas Picture Quote #1

The only thing the Pop Artists had in common is that we all had been commercial artists in some manner. Lichtenstein was a draftsman; I was a billboard painter, but we didn’t work together. I didn’t meet Andy Warhol until 1964 Picture Quote #1

There’s something retro about the pop culture references in the paintings, so I’d imagine it’s not as much a pop culture reference as a pop art reference Picture Quote #1

There is still some art in pop music. But it can’t happen if you’re not inspired Picture Quote #1

I’m always on the look out for ‘the good image’. I’m like The Borg (you know, Star Trek) inasmuch as I assimilate everything - but I like to think I’m working in the Pop Art tradition Picture Quote #1

We’re a pop art band. Not a pop band Picture Quote #1

Pop art is about liking things Picture Quote #1

Pop art is the inedible raised to the unspeakable Picture Quote #1

I’m definitely a pop artist at heart Picture Quote #1

I don’t listen to the contemporary pop artists. They all sound alike, anyway Picture Quote #1

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace Picture Quote #1

Before pop art, there was such a thing as bad taste. Now there’s kitsch, schlock, camp, and porn Picture Quote #1

I don’t mean this, but I’m going to say it anyway. I don’t really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart Picture Quote #1

I am a pop artist, so my medium is public opinion and the world is my canvas Picture Quote #1

I have a pretty expanded view of what art is. I include pop music and even some sports Picture Quote #1

No matter what genre of music you play when you rack up a couple years of experience, you have your own point of view no matter who it is that is coming in front of you whether it’s a pop artist or a country artist. Whoever Picture Quote #1

Sometimes pop artists, it’s all about clothes and pyro. My thing is about my band Picture Quote #1
