Week #14

Today in class we talked about pop art.  It was strange to talk about artist that are still alive and using art that is a little more popular today.  We talked about Robert Rauschenberg who was an artist who used materials that were pop culture "junk". Then we talked about Andy Warhol, an artist who uses serial use of images. He loved american popular culture. He takes Duchamp's indifference to a new level.  We learned that he made a 2 hour movie of a guy sleeping and a 24 hour movie of a tower.  I thought that was pretty American flag was interesting.  Professor Tucker brought up some interesting point about how we treat and actual flag and how we would treat a picture of a flag.
