Ever since reading his personal biography, I love Andy Warhol and I personally feel like a Pop Art museum, mainly displaying Andy Warhol's work, would be my best bet for a project I could remain thoroughly interested in all trimester. I enjoy Pop Art and love that people take the average and the everyday and step back to look at it from a different, more artistic perspective. Specifically, I love the pictures of Andy Warhol's coke series. I think it is specifically interesting that he took one simple idea, or good, and ran with it in such a way no one ever had before. I can imagine the criticism Warhol received because most designers and creators of his time most likely wouldn't have considered the work Warhol was doing as art. Warhol revolutionalized the genre, modern art. I think the subject of pop art in general is extremely interesting and I am excited to immerse myself in it as I create my museum designed for it. Below are some of the most famous Pop art pieces, and my most favorite:
Richard Hamilton's Just What is it that Makes Today's Homes so Different, so Appealing
Roy Lichtenstein's Drowning Girl
Wayne Thiebaud's Three Machines
Andy Warhol's Campbell's Tomato Soup Cans
