Pop art is a form of art that uses visual commodities. This removes the material from it’s context and isolates the object, or combines it with other objects, for contemplation.
Stuart Davis was a famous American painter. He rearranged material into patterns and contrasted their colors- this is called Cubism, which he brought over from Paris. His work often reflected on his personal life and hobbies, including his love for jazz.

This piece is my favorite because I love the colors in it. All the different uses of blue make the piece stand out from all the others. I also really like the setting of the picture because it’s not to complicated. I like simple art and art that is understanding.
Robert Indiana was an American sign painter who showed his strong view on the world through is artwork. He likes to paint about the past and the American Dream. In his painting there is usually a deeper meaning throughout it.

I like this painting because the colors contrast really well. Love is a reoccurring theme in his artwork, but I find this piece to be one of the better ones. The format he has LOVE portrayed in is very eye-catchy.
