| This article intends to study the issue of
representation in Pop Art. Here we define
representation as a process through which
the audience identifies an external reality
in the heart of the pictorial elements of a
tableau which is exterior to the pictorial
world or rather only familiar to his mind.
For this purpose, we would examine “representation”
from cave art to art of the
middle 20th century i.e. when the representational
elements in artistic work wane
for different reasons. But representation
regained its importance no sooner than the
emergence of Pop Art in 60s and consequently
representational pictorial elements
has so far turned into one of the critical issues
of postmodern events in art. This article
would analyze the fundamental artistic
and social reasons for such attention to representation in Pop Art while remaining
focused on works of the distinguished artists
of the movement, those like Jasper
Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard
Hamilton and James Rosenquist. |
