Abstract
This paper explains that Pop Art uses images of consumerism and everyday objects, often placing mundane objects in bizarre situations as a form of social commentary. The author points out that, although Andy Warhol is perhaps the best-known pop artist, Richard Hamilton, born in London during the 1920s, created the first piece of Pop Art, ?Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing??, a collage poster design for the ?This Is Tomorrow? art exhibit. The paper describes the author?s attempt to reinterpret this collage by using images of the latest technology of our era -- the plasma TV, the DVD player, the PlayStation ? just as Hamilton?s collage shows the latest technology of his era -- the reel-to-reel, the television.
From the Paper
"I experienced some particular problems in creating my collage. Hamilton?s background in advertising and the arts gave him an incredible skill for cutting out the magazine photos, and although the proportions are somewhat skewed, he was able to piece the individual photos together in an almost seamless fashion, creating a completely believable new world. In my collage, the scissors lines are obvious, and there is not the artistic flow of the created environment. The models in my collage do not have the creepy Outer-Limits air about them, and the sense of discord within a stable environment that Hamilton captured simply is not there in my collage, which does not have a proper sense of chaos or stability. It is an important lesson to be learned, however, that even if presented with the same basic supplies, it is the artistic skill and merit of the artist that creates a true piece of art. Simply incorporating similar themes into a piece does not necessarily make those pieces companions or comparable. Hamilton had an incredible sense of the impact of the media and consumer-based society on the individual, and it was due to his own brilliance that his collage is impressive, not just, because he found pretty pictures in magazines."

Pop Art, Rock 'n Roll Music and Modernist Literature, 2007.
An analysis of pop art, Rock 'n Roll music and modernist literature in the 20th century.

Abstract
This paper provides a three-tiered analysis of the most important trends in art, music and literature since 1890. In the paper, Andy Warhol represents the important trend of pop art, the Rolling Stones represents the important trend of Rock 'n' Roll in popular music and finally, Ernest Hemingway represents the crucial trend of modernist literature in the 20th century. It shows how these trends are an important part of the cultural identity of the 20th century, which impart crucial influences as to how art, music and literature evolved in this time frame.
From the Paper
"The insanity and terror of war of this kind is the direct result of losing one's honor in a battle field that had little to do with chivalry and honor. Modernism reflects the reality and horror of war, as Hemingway clearly indicates in his response to coming home and telling his story to the local people in his town. In an age of machines and World Wars, Hemingway was a part of the important trend of literary Modernism, which provided the reality of war that counteracted the romanticism of war in the 19th century."

Pop Artist Andy Warhol, 2005.
This paper discusses the history of the Pop Art movement and the work of Andy Warhol.

Abstract
This paper explains that, loosely defined, Pop Art describes works, which borrow imagery from the mass culture--high art mimicking low art; everyday items such as commercial product packaging, newspaper articles, advertisements and comic books are the foundation of the Pop Artist's works. The author believes that the greatest Pop artist, whose innovations have affected so much subsequent art, is the American artist, Andy Warhol, whose works--"Campbell's Soup Can" series, "Green Coca-Cola Bottles, 1962" and "192 Dollar Bills, 1962"--are detailed in this paper. The paper relates that Andy Warhol, son of disadvantaged Polish immigrants, became an icon not only of Post-Modern art in the Pop movement, but also the epitome of enviable glamour as one of the leading mass-media personalities of his time.
From the Paper
"Warhol's method of reproducing identical images, echoing the assembly-line production of the objects depicted, gradually became more technically efficient and a standard feature of his work. He introduced this method of screen-printing in 1962 and encouraged the impression that works were churned out from the Factory, as his studio on East 47th Street in New York was known, by his entourage of assistants. "With screen-printing Warhol had finally found a way of eliminating altogether the distinguishing personality of brushwork, at the same time satisfying his professed desire to make himself into a machine, registering images as a mere film of colour on the canvas surface.""

Abstract
American Pop Art developed from the newly found self confidence with which American art asserted itself in the fifties against European influence. The subject matter was Americanism itself in terms of the idea of progress, the media industry, and the star cult.
From the Paper
"American Pop Art developed from the newly found self confidence with which American art asserted itself in the fifties against European influence. The subject matter was Americanism itself in terms of the idea of progress, the media industry, and the star cult. The previous generation had brought forth a new tendency toward realism using contemporary subject matter. The development of the style took place in several phases. The first was the pre Pop phases painters took their leave of Abstract Expressionism. Then came the heyday of Pop Art, a phase that saw the emergence of a number of important artists whose work was rooted in the fifties and partly founded on experience acquired in commercial art, design and poster painting. They quickly achieved success and recognition as a new art movement with exhibitions, Happenings, theater ..."

Avant-Garde Art Of the 1950's, 2000.
An examination of the modernist theory of Clement Greenberg and the art of Barnett Newman, Richard Hamilton (Pop Art) and Eduardo Paolozzi.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 3 sources, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Clement Greenberg's enormously influential definition of modernism embodies a teleological approach to art that was rejected by the Pop artists, among others, who constituted part of the reaction to 'modernism' (or, at least, to Greenberg's modernism) that began in the 1960s. Greenberg made an initial distinction between art, which took in "advanced painting," and kitsch, the German word for "disposable, poorly-designed consumer objects" that had been flooding the world in the wake of the Industrial Revolution (Stiles 2). Such objects fed the popular taste for illusionist representation, sentiment, anecdote, and decoration that was, Greenberg believed, beneath consideration for true art. In his view the European avant-gardes of the pre-1940 era embodied this disdain for the popular and a concern with the higher purposes of art. Greenberg's theory of modernism..."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to summarize three articles on modern art. These articles are on the American Action Painters, Post-Pop Art and how imperialism and paternalism have influenced culture and art.
From the Paper
"The purpose of this essay is to discuss the action painters in the context of modern art. Rosenberg talks about the difference between modern art and traditional art and identifies modern art as incorporating the social conditions and experiences of artists and their subject; the reproduction of life in this case is an abstract concept and is expressed through action or the experience of what happens when the experience, feelings and creativity flow through the artist and the...."

Janine Antoni's Art, 2007.

Abstract
This art study compares and contrasts the basis of pop art and performance art within the two works; "Loving Care" and "Mom and Dad" by Janine Antoni. The paper demonstrates how Antoni works within two different mediums within the context of these pieces, but keeps the central aspect of gender conflict that arises in modern society. The paper illustrates how Antoni reflects older traditions in the modern mass media perspective, but adds social and technological elements of her generation within her works.
From the Paper
"The first work to be examined is entitled "Loving Care" (1993) by Janine Antoni. Although this performance piece has to be witnessed to be fully experienced, the photograph used in this study will seek to define the actual principles of what Antoni was trying to accomplish in this piece (Antoni "Love and Care"). The medium of this performance uses black hair dye, which is applied from a bucket to the hair of the artist. The dye is then spread with the hair much like a mop on the floor. The immediate commentary on this type of dye application revolves around the protest of beauty and women within the household. Immediately, there is a sense of the woman acting as a servant not with cleaning agents, but with the normative standards of beautification that the dye symbolizes for women in the modern era (Goldberg 229-231)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the genre of music known as 'Bastard Pop'. According to the paper, 'Bastard Pop' is not a formal musical categorization, but rather a common, colloquial term for music that is the result of a fusion of different musical styles or elements, often using several different types of songs that are combined into one, new song or style.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the 1990s, the phenomenon of downloadable music made the ability to fuse and combine genres even more accesible to everyday computer users and listeners, even young persons with only a PC in their bedrooms. Disc jockeys and then ordinary listeners could develop mixing techniques that turned first the record player, then the home computer into an instrument. Such technology-driven creativity gave birth to first such musical genres as disco, then to hip-hop and finally house and techno. "These innovations not only radically changed their immediate cultural and social contexts, but also served as templates for a variety of other musical practices around the world, so much so that contemporary popular music would be unthinkable without them." (Wehelive, 2004) Popular music, the argument goes, depends upon copying, and without such self-referential techniques, modern music would be much poorer."

Orientalism in Western Art and Music, 2002.
This paper discusses the use of orientalism, the influence of the culture of the Middle and Far East, on Western art and music.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that, even though Western artists are looking for new ideas when they seek Oriental input, they can only interrupt the Orient through their own Western culture. The author explains that French painter Eugene Delacroix' ?Death of Sardanapalus? and Austrian artist Leopold Carl Muller?s ?The Market in Cairo? are examples of orientalism in Western art. The author states that the Beatles, seeking the teachings of India?s gurus, brought orientalism into modern pop culture.
From the Paper
"The Western World that Delacroix knew lay on the brink of the Victorian age. Painted in 1827, the Death of Sardanapalus speaks to a people already grown accustomed to the strictures of middle-class morality. As older and wilder days ended, North Americans and Europeans were already entering into a new era of strong religious devotion, clean living, and sexual repression. The wanton abandoning of oneself to pleasure like Sardanapalus seemed to be something that was still possible only within the hidden corridors of the seraglio, a place where leering, bearded despots sought freely to satisfy their carnal lusts. The fact that Sardanapalus?s world is about to be consumed in fire is but a fitting moral judgment. Though he can gape at the writhing, sensuous forms of the King?s doomed attendants, the European or North American man can only dream of what he cannot have ? the pleasures of the flesh are condemned hellfire."

Abstract
The paper begins by explaining exactly what pop-ups are in the computer world. It then further defines how these separate windows appear when a computer is turned on and what they look like on the screen. The paper also analyses who uses pop-ups. Basically pop-ups are used for advertising on the Web, though advertising is not the only application for pop-up windows. The paper further discusses the advantages and disadvantages of this technology.
From the Paper
"This paper is on the advantages and disadvantages of computer pop-ups, the pop-up being a separate window with a message in it that appears unbidden when a computer user accesses a website. Some websites include advertising in a banner across the top of the screen, or in a list down the side of the screen, or as images and text included on a page in the sway an ad appears in a newspaper or magazine. Advertisers who want to be seen in a more memorable way use pop-ups."

Abstract
Rap Music has a great effect on our pop culture and race today. In fact, since the music of Elvis, various forms of music have pushed the limits of tolerance and decency in pop culture. According to some critics, rap has done this to an extent that cannot be disregarded in terms of social standards. This paper reviews the rap music genre, while also taking into consideration the impact it has on pop culture. The paper asserts that, while it is true that some rap artists have broken rules and norms not only in their music, but also in their lifestyles, it is also true that other rap musicians attempt to use their art for social uplift in pop culture.
From the Paper
"During the 1920s, urban street jive was a form of speech developed in Chicago ("Getting"). According to some historians, this is the tradition at the root of rap music as it exists today. In its current form, rap music emerged in New York City, courtesy of a Jamaican immigrant, Clive Campbell, or DJ Kool Herc, as he is also known. During the 1970's, Campbell developed this art form by mixing music from two records on two separate turntables. The beat created in this manner was accompanied by Campbell speaking to match the rhythm of the music. The first hit in this genre was created by the Sugarhill Gang in 1979, and entitled "Rappers Delight.""

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this essay, the writer argues that diet pops are so dangerous for one's health that it would be better if people just ate sugar. The writer maintains that even though sugar is bad for people's health, it is not as bad as the aspartame in diet pops. The writer shows that there is much evidence to support this. As demonstrated in this article, there is also evidence to show that aspartame is not bad for people. However, the writer claims that if this evidence is examined one finds that the evidence may be biased. The writer explains that this is because some research is paid for by the diet pop companies.
