THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINE ART AND POP ART. 2

The relationship between fine art and pop art.

Although art by its definition is a way of expressing emotion, imagination, and creativity,

there is a notable difference when it comes to fine art and commercial art commonly known as

pop art. Fine art involves photography, paintings, sculptures, printmaking, multi-media, and

sound art while commercial art involves branding, advertising, book illustration, and graphic

design. The difference was vivid up until 1950 when countries experienced a period of political

and economic growth years after World War II. A new culture of music emerged and by the late

1950s countries experienced a cultural revolution. This turbulence climate and the increase in

consumerism led to a generation of new artists thus the emergence of pop art. However, a

number of artists were aware of the past and strived to connect between pop art and fine art. This

essay delves into artists who used both commercial or pop art and fine art in their work.

Andy Warhol

Warhol painting is a good example of the thin boundary between fine art and

commercial art. He was born from a poor family in February 1928 in Pennsylvanian. In his early

childhood, he developed skin disease but that did not hinder him in completing his studies. He

finally joined the technology institute of Carnegie where he studied commercial art. He later

graduated with a bachelor's in Fine Arts and traveled to New York where his career started in

advertising and magazine illustration.

Warhol started his career in painting in the 1950s where he connected between fine art

and commercial art. His paintings were a unique intersection of fine art materials such as

photography and drawing with highly commercialized materials orbiting around celebrity names

and household brands thus gathering international attention for his products (Warhol 2015).

Andy Warhol Brillo Block's exhibition of 1964 clearly indicated the connection between fine art
