You have just then copied a common item?" "Yes" "Why have you bothered to do that? Why not create something new?" "Because it's easier to do so.

Pop just means – it’s a short word for things that people like at the time.

Andy Warhol

Born in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Andy Warhol was a pioneer of the American Pop Art movement. His work is widely recognised for its iconic colourful style — mixing contemporary art with celebrity culture and consumer goods.

This depiction of the entire region as empty really helped to promote what you’re describing as this space for people to just move right in, a place that is unoccupied, which is of course not true.

Georgia O'Keefe

Georgia O’Keeffe was a pioneer of American Modernism. Her sensual paintings, from the early 1900s to her death in 1986, reflect the promise and pitfalls of the 20th Century.

Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp was a visionary Dadaist renowned for his "readymades", challenging and redefining artworld conventions.

Every time I succeed in finishing one of my sketches, my understanding of humanity, animals, plants, minerals, or the entire creation becomes clearer. I feel freed and raised up above my limited consciousness.
